Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Is this Haringey's most confusing parking sign?
Here's my entry in Haringey's most confusing parking sign competition.
This unlovely piece of street furniture is on Oakfield Road. I find it hard to interpret its meaning while sitting down at leisure trying to decipher it.
Remember this is aimed at motorists, driving vehicles and who have just a few seconds to work it out.
This is the most complex sign in Haringey because all motorists wishing to park are expected to have at least some knowledge about football games (presumably "Match" doesn't refer to Bryant and May. Perhaps "Event" has some relationship to soccer as well).
In order to make the entrapment complete, the council have provided a flip-down board which randomly changes the meaning of the sign.
Can anyone come up with a better/worse example than this?

They stick PCNs to the saddle, speedo or where ever. Very strong glue too.
Haringey Council were looking at Westminsters' charging scheme (for M/Bs) but backed away after seeing that there were signs that the scheme may have been put in place illegally. (No to Bike parking Tax)

Haringey would also have had the expense of providing new motorcycle bays; not just the cost of painting white lines in the road, but also having to consult all the residents of every street where they proposed to put one (as they did when they put in Street Car bays). Then there's the legal costs, official Road Act notices etc., all very expensive, to bring in a £1 per day per bike in parking revenue (which is what Westminster charge). Doesn't add up does it (thankfully).
