Parked at a friend's house last night...

Figured it out: vehicle was NOT FACING stop sign

like so: http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/4548/80281371.jpg
-Green is the grass of his house
-Black is the drive-way
-I was parked right outside of his house

The stop sign was a good 15-20 feet away...and so it's not that, cause it'd have been that on the ticket.

Ticket says: Parking vehicle facing wrong direction – By-Law 555-00 Section 5(1)(a)

I have no idea what this really means....I don't think it was a one-way, rare to see those in Mississauga residential streets, is that why I may have got that though?

Infraction:

I'm not going to fight it...unless I really didn't deserve to get this.

What do you guys think?

Well it all depends. Was the front of your car facing the stop sign?

Nope.

I get it now, I was on the left-hand side of the road...I have to be on the right to park that way, cause in North America traffic goes that way.

What a pointless offence. Seriously, this was on the night of a long-weekend in some quiet residential road.

Probably just to fill a quota.

Or maybe because you parked in the wrong direction on the side of the road....
