01What is wrong here

The No Parking sign on G Street SW at the 6th St SW intersection is positioned too close to the corner -- the legal parking zone begins within the 40-foot setback from the curb-line intersection that 18 DCMR 2405.2(c) requires. The vehicle in this photo is parked exactly where DDOT's sign permits, well within the statutory setback. The 40-foot rule is symmetric: it applies on both approaches, regardless of which side the vehicle came from.
