i just recived a ticket in natomas while at a kids sports function at a park with only street parking. I was aprox 9 feet from the plug but even then, i didnt "notice that the hydrant was even there" no painted curb and the hydrant was a dull silver and green on top. Even with the flow markings shouldnt the hydrant be bright yellow or red to STAND OUT. like I stated i did not notice until the ticket was on the window. at that point i looked for the plug. On a side note.....dont the enforcement officers need to follow the same rules they enforce. the parking enforement car was double parked with his hazards on while he walked around the streets looking for any violations he could find. HE WAS DOUBLE PARKED...... how can he justify breaking the laws?
