Parking meters on sidewalks? I had no idea.

I accidentally found out about it as well. Also this should be in showcase section of the forum.

Yeah there was a thread about it a few months back.

rathmann72 · January 30, 2014 1:10PM

Nop didn't know that before now either, good to know :thumbup:

jyoung1903 · January 30, 2014 1:10PM

It wasn't always like that. They added that a while back though. Sort of hoping they do this with stop signs too.

I posted the image to go along with my game related question so no, it belongs here.

Who cares? This can easily be considered a discussion topic. It would probably spread the information more efficiently. You know, the entire point of the Internet.

Good point

Hope they will add traffic lights too!

I had no idea as well. Looking at your picture, I wish the stop signs could be rotated 360 degrees that way I could put them out. I don't think the back side of a stop sign would be too much trouble.

Confirmed, now if they will make dirt and more ground textures!

You had no idea parking meters could go on the sidewalks? Well, I can top that a million times over. Until i read this thread, I had no idea those WERE sidewalks. I always assumed they were road edges/curbs and always wondered why they were all so "bumpy" looking with all those lines. Maybe part of my problem is that the little squares are so tiny relative to the size of the characters' feet. Around here, that's the width of a curb. As kids, we used to try to balance walking on them as if they were balance beams.

So that finally explains to my pointy little head why the characters are always walking there. DOH!

Lmao. Don't worry! i thought the same thing when I first started playing. Then one day it just clicked

This is awesome... I totally missed it... I wish I could do it with stop signs, street lights, trash cans, garbage bin, and the newspaper dispenser as well, but this is a great start.

You can also put stuff on the boardwalk now

Wait, did they add stuff that can go on the boardwalk. Can I finally put my Tire Fire on it?

Such as? There's already a ton of items that can be added such as the re-released Duff party bus.

Another thing you might not have noticed is that you can put the yellow barriers on roads.

GamerGD3 · January 30, 2014 1:58PM

I saw it when it was posted last year. I don't typically have parking lots along that side of the street to need the meters there. I don't really use many meters as it is. My main location of them as at the Try-N-Save, makes it seem ironic that you are "trying to save" money by shopping there, but you have to pay to park ;-).

Yep, that one I knew about. Other's might not though so thanks for pointing it out. 8)

Note: Characters walk around parking meters on sidewalks. It doesn't bother me but, IIRC, a complaint about that was the gist of the thread on this same topic a couple of months ago. I would like it if we could also place stop signs and street lights on sidewalks as well.

Parking meters on sidewalks? I had no idea.
