This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

New York City could allow a hospital to issue parking tickets. Time will tell if this a good idea or not. (nyc.streetsblog.org)

Private companies can issue tickets in the UK. It works for the most part in my part of the country.

There was a time where wheel clampers used to clamp vehicles using tactics such as bad signage and hiding until you’d left your car. We seem to have got them under control now.
