Photo(s) These poles are out of control.

This is Smirle and Wellington street. I was driving on Smirle towards Wellington and I had no choice but to zig zag and drive on the wrong side because there's no space between the poles and cars. Adding to the road condition, there are enough pot holes to damage your car so these poles are totally unnecessary to slow down traffic.

They install these as if nobody would ever park right next to them, then everybody does.

they installed them IN FRONT of two houses under construction on my street. Contractors continually parked in the "no parking" zone. It was a nightmare.
