Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, but was just wondering if you guys can help..

I got lost driving to Yaletown today, so i pulled over to the corner of W Cordova and Bute to turn on my GPS. I was right at the corner in front of the stop sign and crosswalk (my car was parked by the curb). I stopped (with my engine still running) for no longer than 30 seconds when a man in a uniform crossed the street and slapped a parking ticket on my car.

Reason for the ticket is: "stopping at a place where a traffic sign prohibits stopping."

I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether or not that area has a "No Stopping Anytime" sign or a "No Parking" sign.

Wondering because i know i can dispute my ticket if it was just a no parking zone.

Thanks in advance.
