This is a collecors item. For 2 weeks this handical parking spot at the City Hall entrance was converted into a taxi stand after 10PM. The message was: If you are handicapped you must go home at 10PM!!!. After quick protest the 24 hours handicap parking is back.

On this side it is one-way; at the other side it is 2-way (without signs-expect for the old parking signs for parking area that is replace by the 2-way path). It is so strange and cumbersome that nobody is uses it.
