This reminds me of a story from years back where double yellows were being painted - it was either around cars, or they were moving the cars and painting underneath them.
I am glad that the rules in Germany are different. If you park your car in a public space, you need to check on a regular basis if it is still legally parked. If you leave the country for a while, you either can’t park your car in a public space or you need to ask someone to check your car for you and park it somewhere else, if there is a reason for it.
Ah right, forbidding everything that would otherwise require some common sense. Very German indeed.
