text: what do you think this sign mean? there was a sign we saw and just couldn't figure out what it meant, we were going to park there for a baseball game, but decided not to risk it.  the sign said:  no parking (it was actually the p with a / through it) ballpark events 2 hours before/1 hour after  looking at it, i would guess it is saying that you cannot park there 2 hours before or 1 hour after a ballpark event.  what do you think?  thanks in advance for your help! i would have to say the same thing. it probably means you can't park there 2 hours before a ballpark event or 1 hour after. then again that doesn't make much sense.   maybe it means no parking until 2 hours before a ballpark event or 1 hour after.   thats a trick sign.
