Built for the second you've parked and you're not sure.

Two-tier sign that contradicts itself? Kerbnow flagged it and told me to find another spot.
The answer comes with the reasoning, not just yes/no. Makes me trust it.

Tells you when the restriction next starts so you know when to come back to the car.

Checked SW1 before driving over and avoided a Sunday-market closure. So good.
