Earlier this week a video by the L.A. Times’ 404 division caught the attention of yours truly when it cited a section of law stating that motorists are entitled to at least an hours’ grace time when parking at any public parking lot owned as private property by a store or vendor. Yours truly went ahead and looked up the code, VEH 22953, and can now verify the video’s information is accurate. See the document for yourself below for details.
Of course, this doesn’t guarantee a motorist full protection from a lot owner’s very capability to stir up trouble over a parking space or two, but it does make for some better news in Los Angeles given so much to the contrary these days.
