Found the location on street view. The bus lane is a weird partial bus lane that only exists on part of the block. Most of the lane is available for parking.
The bus lane areas are painted red, and there is a sign at the start saying no parking/tow away zone. But they aren’t aligned properly. The red pavement starts about a car legnth before the no parking/tow away sign.
In most traffic codes, signage takes precidence over painted markings on the street. So as far as I can tell, the truck in the picture is parked legally, despite being on red pavement.
This is some particularly stupid street design, and this post is an incredibly manipulatively framed picture, with the sign just out of frame, but not an example of illegal street parking.
I mean this all depends on if there’s actually a parking spot there. I know in the city I live in parking kiosks each parking spot is numbered so that way when you pay for parking you pay for the numbered spot itself. And bustling areas there are no numbered areas like that.
There is a sign that says no parking in front, paid parking behind. Its clearly visible in the picture I attached to my comment if your instance can display it.
Parking kiosks are not regulatory signs, which is why I mentioned the sign rather than the kiosk.
Parking is by plate not space. There are no individually marked parking spots on this street.
Why is there a parking payment kiosk next to the bus lane on a road with no street parking? Something isn’t adding up here.
