I was one of those

I was one of those individuals who got a ticket, and, boy, was I stinking mad, since there was no sign identifying the road as no parking. I complained to the officers there that day and had planned to follow up with a call to the police chief, when I was notified that the tickets were revoked. I'm glad they decided to revisit the issue. I still don't know what the big deal is about parking there, at least allowing it on one side; however, if they're not going to allow parking, they better have signs.

To me, this story is a great

To me, this story is a great example of how the police department in Jordan really does care about the citizens of our town. I feel lucky as a Jordan resident to have the police officers that we’ve got, and it’s nice to have a police department that is not some nameless, faceless, unforgiving and unmoving force, but that is a part of the community.

We have a no-parking rule on

We have a no-parking rule on the two streets in my subdivision (not in Jordan) but I often have to "thread the needle" between vehicles parked on both sides of the street to get to my driveway.

Then there are the lazy teenagers who drive their vehicles up the asphalted walking trail in the park at the end of the road so they can park closer to the basketball court.

I'm not sure if there is a no-parking sign on the street for visitors to know better, but it's in our association rules that no on-street parking is allowed (but I think I'm the only resident who read the handbook?)

There is a "no motorized vehicles" sign at the top of the walking path (between the basketball court and the road) but not at the road.

I would only laugh if (1) one of the illegally parked vehicles was hit or towed or (2) if the police showed up at the park. The latter happens occasionally, but we're supposed to call the management company for our association about parking -- and they might call back three days later but would probably never actually come out to assess the situation.
