Misread Map Means Parking Mess

The parking mess started when residents of Essex County complained to the local council about a dangerous corner. The council determined one way to enhance safety was to limit parking in the area. So, contractors were dispatched to paint the road to show the “no parking” condition. But, they read the map wrong and put the lines on the wrong side of road. They were however clever enough to paint around the cars already parked there.

The explanation?

And when one man confronted the contractors painting the lines, he found them reading the map upside down.
