01What is wrong here
Charter-permit-style No Parking sign at the northern of the two mid-block crosswalks carries a directional arrow that prohibits parking in one direction but permits it in the other. The SUV in this photo is parked exactly where the un-arrowed direction permits -- bumper roughly 5-8 feet from the crosswalk. Parking on the crosswalk itself is prohibited under 18 DCMR 2405.1(b); DC sets no fixed setback at a mid-block crosswalk like this one, so it is DDOT's own arrowed sign that puts vehicles right beside the crossing. The sign creates the hazard regardless of approach side.
