"lol you didn't know that?  There is also some traffic control device (yeild sign, stop sign, traffic light, something)

First Yield sign was installed in Tulsa.
I had the honor of interviewing inventor Clinton Riggs when he was chief of security for Tulsa Junior College downtown, and I believe he had the original in his office.  Neat guy, lots of stories.

The electronic meters downtown are a complete mess.  Some work, some don't.  Some take debit cards, some don't.  Some meters advertise 2 hours while the sign directly overhead advertises 1 hour.  Some meters advertise 1 hour while the sign directly above advertises 2 hours.  The arrow buttons that allow the consumer to change the time requested do not work, i.e. if using a debit card on a 2 hour meter, you have one choice - 2 hours.  Some meters with a balance of time will take your money without adding any time, others will. 

It's a total cluster.

So are the rates doubling?

Any other changes?

Still free after 5?

What are the rumors?
