Drive Carefully
Photo Attribution: Tobias Buchmann
The funny thing about this shot is that I took one very similar of a German parking meter when I was in Germany in 2000. It seems fitting that Tobi should come here and take the converse photo. 🙂
They seem really old. Are they still in use??? Like the grey against the orange background, makes a good contrast…
They are still in use. In fact, Philly just retrofitted these with new digital displays, smart card payment, and coin slots without the old turn-knobs. People used to leave an extra quarter in the slot but left the knob unturned because the meter maids had to turn the knob before writing you a ticket. Alas, no more Parking Meter Insurance…
