Two-Way Parking
Nov 2, 2012
Odd thing about Broad Street in South Philadelphia: people park in the middle of the street.
Between the northbound and southbound lanes, there is pavement marked with diagonal yellow stripes, the kind of striping that, in all other parts of the world, says to drivers: "Keep your car out of this area." But on Broad Street, at least on the part of Broad Street that runs through South Philly, the empty space between lanes calls out, "Hey, right over here–park your car! Right here in the middle of the street."
Facing north, facing south, doesn't matter. Free parking is free parking.
