So I came to Calgary and didn't feel like paying dt parking rates, so I drove around places and found one a 25 minute walk away that appeared to have free road parking.
Sure enough when I checked on the car the next day I had a ticket, for violating 2 hour parking. Upon further inspection, there was a 2 hour parking sign roughly 55m in front of the car, and another one roughly 62m behind it. (estimated by pacings) How far do these signs have effect? On the opposite side of the street they were every 10m or so. I think signs should have to be more often than once every 350 feet.
Also, I'm leaving Alberta for good next Monday (just in town to wrap up some stuff with a work transfer). What happens if I just don't pay it? Can't register any cars in Alberta? If one doesn't plan on ever living here again, could i just say fuck it?
