Thanks for any advice or input. This is basically what the spot I was parked in looks like, except with no storm drain and it was on a smaller residential street.
Join Date Mar Posts 18, Re: Ticket for Blocking a Crosswalk, No Signs, Lines, or Ramp If your car was in a position similar to the minivan at the right of the picture then you are possibly guilty of parking in a crosswalk. The CA Vehicle Code Section defines "crosswalk" as either: a That portion of a roadway included within the prolongation or connection of the boundary lines of sidewalks at intersection where the intersecting roadways meet at approximately right angles, except the prolongation of such lines from an alley across a street.
However, there is no way of accurately predicting your guilt or innocence because you haven't provided a decent aerial photo google earth of the actual intersection that shows the position of the sidewalks. As for the city "robbing you dry" due to parking tickets, the solution is not to park in ways and in places that get you cited. I would have thought you'd figured that out by now.

Street types : All Sidewalk zones : Roadway Crosswalks are present by law at all approximately right angle intersections, whether marked or unmarked, unless the pedestrian crossing is specifically prohibited.
Uncontrolled Intersections Intersections without traffic signals or STOP signs are considered uncontrolled intersections. High-Visibility Crosswalks Because of the low approach angle at which pavement markings are viewed by drivers, the use of longitudinal stripes in addition to or in place of the standard transverse markings can significantly increase the visibility of a crosswalk to oncoming traffic. Mid-Block Crosswalks In areas with short block lengths, closely-spaced intersections ensure that pedestrians can easily find crosswalks without having to go out of their way, but many areas have long blocks with widely-spaced intersections and fewer crossing opportunities.
Design Crosswalks should be at least as wide as the sidewalk, but may be wider in locations with high pedestrian demand or narrow sidewalks. Standard Crosswalks The standard treatment for marked crosswalks at intersection locations consists of two 12 inch-wide white retro-reflective thermoplastic stripes that delineate the sides of the pedestrian walking area.
High-Visibility Crosswalks High-visibility crosswalks should be marked using the continental pattern of crosswalk striping, which consists of a series of wide stripes parallel to the curb for the length of the crossing.
High Visibility Crosswalk Treatments When transverse markings are converted to continental markings, the side stripes may remain, since removal is costly, but the side stripes should not be maintained. Mid-Block Crosswalks Mid-block crossings should: Be enhanced through the use of signage, striping, signalization, or other special treatments such as flashing beacons, special paving materials, or raised crossings Be constructed in combination with mid-block Curb Extensions Include Pedestrian Lighting oriented toward the crossing Supplementary Pedestrian Crossing Treatments Advance Stop and Yield Lines Stop lines or limit lines are solid white lines 12 to 24 inches wide, extending across all approach lanes to indicate where vehicles must stop in compliance with a stop sign or signal.
Flashing Lights and Beacons In-roadway flashing lights are intended to call extra attention to pedestrians in crosswalks where signage or other design treatments are deemed insufficient. Special Intersection Paving Special intersection paving treatments can break the visual monotony of asphalt streets, highlight crossings as an extension of the pedestrian realm, and announce key civic or commercial locations.
Where capital and maintenance budgets allow, they may be considered on: Streets important to the city pattern Commercial streets At entries to residential areas where residential streets intersect with higher volume streets At key civic locations, such as civic buildings or entries to open spaces At mid-block crosswalks Paving treatments should: Use integrated color, texture, and pattern.
Potential materials include but are not limited to colored and stamped asphalt, poured concrete, and stone or concrete pavers Provide a surface that does not cause discomfort due to excessive vibration to those using wheelchairs or other assistive mobility devices Use stable, durable, and slip resistant materials Include edging treatments to visually contrast with the primary material and with the asphalt roadway Include crosswalk striping parallel white lines on the outer edge of the crossing See SIdewalk Paving Raised Crosswalks and Intersections Raised crosswalks are a traffic calming strategy that brings the level of the roadway to that of the sidewalk, forcing vehicles to slow before passing over the crosswalk and providing a level pedestrian path of travel from curb to curb.
See Raised Crosswalks Pedestrian refuge islands Crosswalks may also include pedestrian refuge islands to break up the crossing and slow cars. See Medians and Islands Re-opening Closed Crosswalks Crosswalks are present by law at all approximately right angle intersections, whether marked or unmarked, unless pedestrian crossing is specifically prohibited.
New crosswalk closures should not be instituted.
