Try to find the "R"
When you travel, you are allways afraid that someone can steal you the few things that you carry, but what you dont expect is that who tries to steal you was the council of a city like San Sebastian.
Last week we travel to Basque Country and in San Sebastian we parked at a zone painted with white lines. When we returned to the car, we found that we were fined by the local police. I was annoyed and went to speak with the policeman who fined us.
He told me that the parking zone was only for residents, and that was painted with an “R”.
- Me: I cannot see this “R” ¿where is it?
- Policeman: Well, I already said that must be repainted
- Me: then, why did you fined me?
- Policeman: My boss ask me to fine everyone non-resident who parks here because there is a traffic sign there saying this zone is only for residents.
- Me: ¿There? ¿Where is the sign?
- Policeman: There (pointing 50 meters away)
The sign was smaller than normal traffic signs and behind other sign which was hidding it. In other cities resident zones are painted in Green or in Red, but in San Sebastian the council prefers to earn more money confusing their visitors.
