01What is wrong here

A "Reserved -- Official Government Vehicles of U.S. Marshals Service / U.S. District Court Only / At All Times" sign authorizes parking at the curb right up to the marked crosswalk. A private Maryland-tagged Mercedes S550 (MD plate 8CV3976) was parked in that space against the crosswalk, blocking sightlines for pedestrians crossing 3rd Street. The reserved-parking designation does not preserve the daylighting setback required near a crosswalk under 18 DCMR 2405.2(c). The signage is federal -- not DDOT's to move -- so the fix is for DDOT to coordinate with the U.S. Marshals Service to move the reserved space back at least 40 feet from the crosswalk.
