How far can your bumper protrude into the RED ZONE!
I understood that there is a 24 inch or 18 inch limit that ones car bumper can protrude into the RED ZONE but not your tire(s). Anyone know exactly where this measurement is identified if it exist?

You understood wrong my friend. If any part of your car is in the red zone its a ticket. |

It is all in enforcement, when was the last you seen a officer?

I saw a Mini with a ticket in my neighborhood and he was only about 3" into the red. Hollywood/Los Feliz parking enforcement is a biotch. Yes, it's all in enforcement. It depends where you live.

It really does depend on the meter maid. I spoke to one who said that his personal "red zone" was up to the tire, anything beyond that is a ticket. Others feel that even a 1/4 inch should be a ticket.

When I was a teenager hanging out at Zuma I had my car towed and it was maybe only 1" into the red on PCH.

Yup, same as speeding tickets. Some cops don't give a cushion, others let you go 10 over. It just depends on them |
