ASK MS. TRAFFIC : NEW SIGN SHOULD HELP TEACH EARLY PARKERS.


Cal State Northridge students trying to get to their 9 a.m. classes on time are parking curbside curb·side  
n.
1. The side of a pavement or street that is bordered by a curb.

2. A sidewalk.

adj.
Located, operating, or occurring at or along the sidewalk or curb:
 along Zelzah Avenue and Nordhoff Street in Northridge in spaces where parking is prohibited until after 9 a.m.

At these busy locations, the early parking creates a hazard for motorists because they are allowed to use that No. 3 lane for driving until 9 a.m.

These trouble spots are located along the west side of Zelzah and the north side of Nordhoff just west of Zelzah.

Can parking be prevented on the west side of Zelzah just north of Nordhoff? And can the signs on the north side of Nordhoff just west of Zelzah be changed to prevent parking, or can patrol officers be assigned to this location to enforce the minimum 9 a.m. parking allowance?

- C.M., North Hollywood

A sign located on the north side of Nordhoff that reads, ``Tow Away - No Stopping Any Time except 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. except on Saturdays and Sundays'' was posted as a result of your valid concern, said Ray Wellbaum, the West Valley Department of Transportation engineer.
