A reader has contacted La Voz to report the "confusion" caused by a traffic sign in Arrecife located on Manolo Millares street.
According to the citizen, "parking in Arrecife has become a big problem and the most advisable thing is to stay on the outskirts, but first you have to make sure of “trap signs” that prevent you from doing so and are strategically located with the bad political intention of obtaining collection purposes."
Apparently, the reader found a fine on his windshield for "not obeying a prohibition or restriction sign" after parking next to this signage. In this sense, he criticizes that "there is a preferential sign that does not prohibit it because there are no prohibitive marks either on the sidewalk or on the edge with the road... there is no color line and the floor is deteriorated."
In addition, he points out that "the complaint adds that the place of the infraction is on Manolo Millares street 113 and it is incorrect data because the vehicle was not parked in front of that property, it was right in front of the old 'Almacenes de los Betancores' that has another numerical order and another destination."
That is why the citizen states that it is "a trap disc near the area that prohibits parking until the next intersection and that goes unnoticed due to its confusing location."
"Understanding that this disconcerting and imprecisely located disc is only the justification for a collection ground to help defray the millionaire expenses of American singers and other superfluous expenses, with the 50 euros of the fine they could already buy a can of yellow paint and draw a clarifying prohibitive islet at the entrance to the third capital of the Canary Islands," he concludes.
