Reply to comment by No_Purpose4705 in Question: Does this sign mean I need a permit to park there period? by wisperino345

It also allows warrantless, near-real time tracking of street visible vehicles in the city by the police, but it has been a while since I read about it and I forget if Pittsburgh utilizes this.

I'd recommend not traveling by car if you don't want to be tracked.
