this person seems miffed

I don’t know where the sign is or not but a sign of this nature within four feet of a hydrant is acceptable, RPP signs do not override restrictions for HP ramps, hydrants, driveways, loading docks, crosswalks, within 20’ of the intersection, or any other physical entity that has a general parking prohibition associated with it. If, indeed, there is a sign within 4’ of a hydrant, it was placed on an existing pole and I’m not going to install a new pole 6’ away for no other reason than to placate someone who is obviously grossly ignorant of parking restrictions in the City of Bost*n and is looking to just make trouble.
