- A parking sign in Queensland has left residents and motorists completely baffled
- Two signs next to each other on a street pole display two different time limits
- A Paradise Island resident said there was ‘a lot of different signage in the area’
A parking sign has left residents completely baffled and motorists at a loss over how long they’re able to park.
The sign was spotted on a Paradise Island street on the Gold Coast and indicates two contradictory time limits.
Two signs can be seen strapped to a residential street pole, just inches from each other, with one displaying a two-hour time limit and the other a three-hour limit.
A parking sign on a Paradise Island street on the Gold Coast in Queensland has left residents completely baffled and motorists at a loss over how long they’re able to park
The two-hour limit was allegedly the original sign and ‘has always been there’ despite ‘a lot of different signage in the area’, local resident Tim Ellis told the Gold Coast Bulletin.
‘All of a sudden they’ve put this three-hour parking sign there,’ he said.
Mr Ellis alleged the new sign came about around the same time as the Commonwealth Games.
‘It’s confusing to me. What is it? Two hours? Three hours? Or do we get five hours?,’ he joked.
The publication contacted the Gold Coast Council for answers about the area’s correct parking conditions.
However, RACQ said it was a three-hour parking area and a three-hour time limit applied everywhere there wasn’t another sign.
