The “No Parking” signs in New York City are pretty cool — they certainly convey the attitude for which the city is famous:
Of course, what would be much cooler would be if they had these signs…

Oh! I wish I could find a picture of the "no honking" signs. I thought they were absolutely precious when I first moved to NYC. It's a $350 fine, but I don't know anyone who's actually gotten a ticket. Oddly though, they don't put up "no turn on red" signs in New York so I just kept turning for the first month or so until someone freaked out in the car with me.
If ONLY all the parking signs here in nyc were that clear... I usually need a translator with me. No parking between 7am-9am except mon, wed, thurs, no standing after 11am etc etc. You can read a sign for 20 minutes and still not understand what the hell is going on! Then there's the glory of getting 15 minutes per quarter...limit of 1 hour. This is why I take the subway!!!
if anyone happens to be kicking about liberty village, there's a similarly themed sign on atlantic avenue. right infront of afares.
it's small, white, and a little beat up.
