MEDFORD, Mass. (WHDH) –  Now a story you’ll see on just one station:   When you see a sign that says resident parking— you know what that means, right? Parking for residents only. But Hank’s discovered in one neighborhood–people are brazenly ignoring the signs–and getting away with it! And Hank went straight to city hall–you won’t believe what she was told.

Hank: “So we should see permits on every car?”
Laura: “Yes.”

We’re looking for parking permits–because these signs on certain streets in Medford are very specific: parking is by permit only.

People who live here–like Laura and James and about 2500 others–pay ten bucks a year for their blue parking stickers. If there’s no sticker–the car’s here illegally.

Hank: “So should this car be parking here?
Laura: “No.”
