Austin parking signs can become confusing when permissions, restrictions, arrows, and time windows appear together. Parky is designed to organize the visible rules into one practical explanation.
Give the image enough context
Photograph all panels on the pole and show the curb near the intended space. Keep directional arrows and small time or date text readable. Capture nearby temporary notices too.
Check how the rules overlap
Identify any prohibition, determine when it is active, and follow its direction. Then consider visible exceptions or permits. Parky carries out this combination from the information shown and can explain it in the user’s language.
Inspect the physical location
Another sign, temporary condition, construction change, curb or road marking, driveway, or hydrant may sit outside the image. The photo is evidence, but it is not the entire street.
This article is pending authoritative Austin source review. It avoids current regulatory claims until they can be verified. Posted signs and current official information take precedence.
Improve an uncertain result
If Parky returns Not sure, look for cut-off arrows, unreadable text, missing panels, or an unclear vehicle position. A clearer or wider photo may resolve the ambiguity.
