An example of the confusion can be found on Michigan Avenue. There are signs that prohibit parking on either side of the street, but the city has also painted white parking lines on the ground in front of one of the no parking signs to help people know where to park. Apparently, in this case, the signs are supposed to be ignored.
This season, the city has hired two parking enforcement officers who periodically patrol local streets on the beach. In July , the police issues over 40 parking citations for violations on streets between Savannah Road and Roosevelt Inlet. Of the entire 2,328 citations issued by the police in Lewes, the two beach parking lots accounted for 1,429.
