Perks of the job - or - Pedestrian hazard!

                                                  Note the no parking sign just to his right!

                             I love how the painting on the curb matches the suburbans paint job!


I've been observing some parking patterns that have developed over the last few month in downtown Reno next to city hall.  At first I was just kind of amused that Reno Fire would park repeatedly in no parking zones while (apparently) taking care of business matters.  However, during the same time the RGJ/RPD started reporting on pedestrian crossings and who was at fault (percentage wise) for accidents between pedestrians and cars.  My biggest problem with Reno Fire parking in this manner is that the rather large SUV prevents drivers from seeing someone entering the crosswalk until the pedestrian is fully in the street and the driver is suddenly required to slam on the breaks (in the best case).  So please Reno Fire, how about abiding by the rules and parking in the parking garage less than 50 feet away.  It might just save the guys at the local fire house a roll-out for the day!
