What about people that put up their own no parking signs and/or pylons? Should one call 311 about that?

Been doing some work for a client where there's residential and commercial all close together, and there's not a ton of non-2hr max parking around so finding a spot within a few blocks of where you want to go can take a little while.

There's one house where a guy owns some kind of business with big trucks and whenever some of the trucks are gone he blocks off the spaces with pylons and no parking signs. Sometimes I've seen the whole half block full of trucks, sometimes only one truck and the rest of the block with signs.

Might they have a prior arrangement with the city to do that? On one hand I get he's just trying to run a business, on the other it seems to suck for others trying to find somewhere to park and have half a block roped off.

I kinda wanted to just move a sign and park there to see what would happen.
