Driving home on I-69, I foolishly decided to stop in Bloomington for s bite to eat. I parked on Kirkwood where another car was parked. I parked at a meter that was not posted "No Parking". I went into a pizza place, ordered, and came back to my car withing 5 mins. I was sitting in the car when a policeman approached. He was very rude, informing me it was a No Parking Zone. It appears I did not see the sign, as it was on the ground, and I should have been looking on the ground before parking. I made it very clear that I was just there for a moment, but still got a ticket. A ticket that had to be paid within a week or it doubled. That's quite a racket you have going there. I learned a very valuable lesson though. Bloomington is not a welcoming town for visitors who don't know the rules. I will not be stopping in Bloomington on any future trips on I-69.

Hi! I'm trying to park in zone 7699 and Park Mobile won't let me start a session, saying there is a network error (not just me, others have same error in app). I don't have change and must go to appointment. Can I appeal successfully if I am ticketed? Thanks!

I am wondering if parking an RV is allowed in city metered spots. Any rules to give tickets as long as it fits? Thanks

at 9:45 a.m. 4/29 I tried to use the parking meter app, which i have used many times) on 76118 (i was at "b"). the app said no such parking place. i tried three times making sure i was getting the number right. could have been a system-wide failure rather than this meter.
however, while I'm at it, i resorted to analog quarter method. I put two in a glanced down to see I only had 15 min. I put some more in and they registered properly. might want to have someone put a bunch of quarters in to see if this was just a fluke or a problem with this meter.
p.s. i actually like the meter system. previously there just was no option to park on the street downtown as all slot always full. now one at least has that option. i think with the free hours in the garages/lot and their proximity, most of the time that should work for most people.
