San Francisco couple ticketed after curb painted red – while their car was parked

Desiree and Jeff Jolly say they got $180 fine for parking in a red zone that didn't exist when they parked the car days earlier

Parking in San Francisco is notoriously difficult and costly - the city has some of the most expensive parking citations in the US. But according to one couple, the city gave them a ticket for parking in a red zone after workers painted the curb red while the car was parked.

Desiree and Jeff Jolly told ABC7 they received a $180 fine for parking in a red zone that didn't exist when they parked the car days earlier. They pointed out a spot workers missed to avoid painting their vehicle.
