Strange sign instructions in UK car park
score:12
It would never have occurred to me to pull over at the machine first, buy a ticket and then drive on to find a parking space. Going by typical European prejudice, that sounds like a very American thing to do. The average European would go find their parking space, park the car and then walk back to the machine to pay (and back to the car to display).
There are parking lots which issue you a ticket when driving in, but those require the ticket back when you leave so they have absolute control of letting people in only when there is space available. Your picture does not look like that type of setting.
I think they really just want to avoid angry stupid people who pay first to find out later that there are no spaces available — which is only an issue during busy times.
