Ugh. Yeah.

But that no-parking sign really should have arrows pointing in both directions to take away any possible excuse of misinterpretation.

Is there a misinterpretation?  The sign suggests that there is one private parking space to the left of the sign.  I thought the entire site was public property.  Which is it?  What is the private property?

The entire site is public property, that sign is out of context, there is another similar sign a few dozen feet away. I have no idea why it says private.

There is definitely no parking space there.

I've seen a similar stupid thing at intersections...basically a no parking sign right next to an intersection will only say "no parking" with an arrow pointing towards the street, and no arrow pointing towards the intersection. I assume it's some stupid presumption on the legality, where the "no parking" bylaw doesn't apply to the intersection because...I don't know, there's a different rule presumably that says no parking in an intersection, so there is a belief that the sign must point towards the road only, which leads to the sign suggesting that parking IS allowed in the intersection.
