Some Greater Victoria residents really donBԪַt like people parking in front of their houses.

So much so that they try and block others from parking there using a variety of tricks, from leaving garbage bins in the spaces to orange cones to homemade signs.

Like the signs you can see in the photo attached to this story.

The signs that have a real-looking BԪַno parkingBԪַ logo emblazoned on them and are attached to sticks - multiple signs have been posted.

Photos were posted on Twitter by an account that calls itself the Johnson Street Bridge (@JohnsonStBRDG), which is known for capturing moments of bad behaviour, including people blocking active transportation lanes.

BԪַLetBԪַs play a game called: Guess What Municipality These Homeowners Live in, Who Think They Literally Own the Street,BԪַ reads the tweet. BԪַThe title is a work in process, but I think you get the idea.BԪַ

Several people responded with guesses like Saanich, Gordon Head and Oak Bay. It turns out these BԪַno parkingBԪַ signs were posted on a residential street in Esquimalt.

People unloaded on the idea.

BԪַTheyBԪַre seriously putting homemade no parking signs out in front of their house on city property?BԪַ tweeted one person.

BԪַIBԪַm gonna go pee on those signs,BԪַ tweeted another.

For the record, public streets are open to all and canBԪַt be restricted by homeowners.
