Oh Rexburg . . .

I've already complained about this on my facebook, but I just think it's so ridiculous and that the sign they put up is so hilarious, I had to post it here as well.Rexburg has decided to change parking stalls on the street to that crazy "reverse angle parking" thing that's apparently "sweeping the nation" (according to whoever on the city council thought it was a good idea). Sure, it would work someplace where people actually know how to drive . . . and someplace where there's not huge throngs of cars for 15 minutes every hour (between classes).

It's kind of hard to see in the picture, but the sign says

"Back-in angle parking

It's as easy as 1-2-3

1. Signal

2. Stop

3. Reverse"

Just out of curiosity, has anyone else ever seen a street sign say "it's as easy as 1-2-3!" hahahahaha.

And guess how many people are actually going to back in? On the day I took this picture, there were 5 cars parked and only 1 had backed in. We'll see what happens when Fall semester starts and all the people come back . . .

It kinda reminds me of the time Rexburg put flashing lights in the road by the crosswalk (incidentally on this same street), and apparently forgot that it snows in Rexburg. 3 guesses what happened after the first big snow when the snow plows came . . .
