How it works

Show Parky the full sign stack, not just one line.

A useful answer starts with a useful image. Parky combines the visible days, times, arrows, permits, dates, and restrictions that apply to the position you show.

1. Capture all relevant signs

Stand where you can photograph the entire pole. Keep the text legible and include arrows or panels that show which direction a rule applies.

2. Parky separates and combines the rules

A single pole can contain a general permission, a timed prohibition, a permit exception, and a seasonal rule. Parky interprets the visible parts together instead of treating each panel as an unrelated translation.

Illustrative exampleCan I park here?Tuesday · 3:20 PM · no permit
NO PARKING3 PM–6 PMMON–FRI
2 HOUR PARKING8 AM–3 PMEXCEPT PERMIT
APR 1–NOV 30STREET CLEANINGWED 9–11 AM
Rules that apply
Tue 3–6 PM
Rule excluded
Permit 8 AM–3 PM
No

The Tuesday 3–6 PM restriction applies now. The permit rule is outside its time window.

3. Arrows, dates, and times change applicability

An arrow may point a restriction toward one side of a pole. A time window may override a general parking permission. A date or seasonal range may make a rule active only during part of the year. Parky uses the context visible in the image to decide which rule applies.

4. Read the conclusion and reasoning

Yes

The visible rules allow parking under the stated conditions.

×
No

A visible rule prohibits parking under the stated conditions.

?
Not sure

The image or visible rules do not support a confident conclusion.

What the photo cannot show

Parky interprets visible and legible information. Possible conditions outside the frame may include temporary paper notices, construction restrictions, snow clearing, curb paint, fire hydrants, driveways, road markings, damaged signs, or local rules not posted in the image. These examples vary by place. Always inspect the surroundings.
