Wait, so you can just ask the City to come and install a parking meter in front of your house? Or is this a private parking meter? Probably not because how would that be allowed? I'm officially confused.
It looks like it is a private parking meter. See how it takes coins only.
Perhaps the home owners were fed up with people parking in their parking spot, so they installed a parking meter. That's what I was thinking when I saw it.
I went to go pick up my sister from gateway station in surrey in the afternoon and instead of parking in the 15 minute parking spot I wanted to find actual parking so I bring change I find a spot and I go to pay at the meter and it's credit card only that made me go WTF what a joke lol
