I guess my wife's heard of a few of these.So the city should put fire hydrants 30 ft from a crosswalk, effectively making it a 40 ft no parking zone.
20 ft really isn't that far away, it's basically the length of a full size extended cap pickup truck. It could be for safety reasons, it's hard to see around a some vehicles if you're trying to cross a street, especially for kids that are walking somewhere. Pedestrians annoy me as a driver, most seem to be oblivious to the world with their heads buried in their phones.
I just looked up some dumb laws for MN:
1. A person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head.
2. It is illegal to sleep naked.
3. Oral sex is prohibited.
4. All bathtubs must not have feet.
5. Red cars may not drive down Lake Street (Minneapolis).
Couldn't pass that one up, too easy.
