To Park or Not to Park? is a guerrilla parking sign redesign project run by interaction designer Nikki Sylianteng. She created the design in 2010 after getting a bunch of parking tickets in LA. But it wasn’t until 4 years later that she started posting it under confusing signs in New York to see if it made sense to other drivers and helping them at the same time. Drivers loved it and to her surprise, so did cities. The signs are now being piloted in Los Angeles, Brisbane, and New Haven. See how it’s evolved and continues to evolve below.
