Q: Where should a no parking sign be posted?
The v.c law 22658a says there should be a sign at all entrances. But does posting on the building count? Or should there be a sign in the grass at the entrance.

A:
In California, the specific requirements for posting "No Parking" signs are outlined in California Vehicle Code Section 22658(a). The law states that the sign should be posted at each entrance to the property. However, it does not explicitly mention whether the sign should be posted on the building or in the grass at the entrance.
That being said, the primary purpose of the sign is to provide clear notice to drivers that parking is not allowed on the property. To achieve this, the sign should be easily visible and readable from the entrance. Posting the sign on the building near the entrance can be sufficient, as long as it is conspicuous and unobstructed.
However, if the building is set back far from the entrance or if there are other factors that might make a building-mounted sign less noticeable, it may be better to place the sign in the grass or on a post near the entrance to ensure maximum visibility.
Ultimately, the key is to make sure the sign is clearly visible and readable from the entrance, regardless of whether it is posted on the building or in the grass. If there is any ambiguity or if the sign placement is challenged, it may be best to consult with local authorities or a legal professional familiar with California parking laws.
