Why? Having a driver's license is a privilege that requires you to study and know the rules of the road. The onus is on you to know the rules.

There are also international tourists who may have different local parking rules than the ones in SF. Having clear demarcations between allowed and non allowed parking areas makes it easier for everyone to follow the correct rules.

Do you have an rss feed of road rules piped into Anki cards or what?

Or just maybe "driver's license is a privilege that requires you to study and know the rules of the road" is a fallacious claim that rests on pedantic legal formalism and an impoverished sense of human psychology.

No, I don't; there are plenty of places you can't legally park that do not have painted curbs or "No Parking" signage. Do we also need curbs and signage near every fire hydrant? How about every driveway? Can drivers double-park anywhere they want? Should they yield to pedestrians in crosswalks? Etc. etc.

How bizarre, this rule is enforced across most of EU without signage and somehow most people cope. Why wouldn't Americans?
