Brooklyn, NY – No Parking Anytime” makes enough sense — but “No Parking Other Times”?

Drivers around Emmons and Ocean avenues were baffled to see just such a sign hanging on a lightpole.

“Other times”? What “other times”?
Faced with such existential questions, many proceeded to park anyway.
“I actually never noticed that sign, but I park here all the time,” said Elena Randazzo, whose family owns Randazzo’s Clam House across the street. “That one is pretty strange though.”
A spokesman for the Department of Transportation could not explain the mystifying message, but pledged to “inspect the area and update the signage if necessary to clarify if and when parking is permitted.”
It appeared clarification was indeed needed, as there were no signs nearby indicating what the “other times” might be.
“I have no idea what that sign means,” said Alex, who worked at the New York Steak House nearby, but did not want to give his name for fear of repercussions from NYPD traffic cops.
He added that he’s never seen anyone get a ticket under the odd sign.
The strange parking warning was first noted the blog Sheepshead Bites.
Who cares what the sign means? Its only purpose is to give you a ticket under bloomy’s watch…..
Its quite obvious to me. It means no parking for all the other times not included under the “No Parking Any Time Sign”!
Or maybe its the other times that the parking warden wants to give a ticket!
This has a classic New York DOT at its best!
easy way to fight if ticketed. Just claim that you parked there at the time you did and not at another time.
i heard that signs are made by illegals in jail
If you get a ticket here, you would argue that the only one that cant park here is Mr. Other Times. Everyone else without that name can park there.
Or you can argue that you can park there This Time, just not an other time.
That is really weird! It is probably ambiguous on purpose so they can ticket you and say you were parked at “other times”.
I am sure the intention is to write “no parking its bloomy times”. Rest assure this signs will go up in the entire city under bloomys kingdom.
