Signs of the times

Bob Shilling of Mays Chapel spotted this sign combination on Chatterton Road just east of Jenifer Road. He found it "perplexing" I think it says something about the human condition.

Well, it seems like the yellow sign, since it's intended as a warning for drivers, would be placed some distance *ahead* of the parked cars in question, but the "no parking" sign obviously refers to the immediate area around the sign. In other words, no contradiction. :)
