A Montrealer's Hilarious TikTok Sums Up Just How Confusing Parking Is In The City (VIDEO)

Do parking signs EVER make sense?

When you think of parking in Montreal, you probably cringe. And for good reason — it sucks.

Nir Guzinski, a Montreal-based actor, totally agrees and has made a hilarious video of one of the biggest culprits when it comes to the stress of parking in the city: the signage.

Guzinski starts off by showing a pole that does not allow parking to the right, except for police vehicles which, as he points out, can literally park anywhere and don't need a designated spot. Fair point.

He then points out that you can only park to the left, BUT not between 6 a.m. to 7 a.m., Monday to Friday, April 1 to December 1. Confusing, right?

"Mais, surprise! It's not even finished," he says. You can't even stop to the left because it's a bus route, and yes, we're wondering how you can park somewhere if you can't stop, as well.

He then lets out a long, drawn-out "TABARNAAAAKKKKKKKK" filled with anger and frustration, which to be honest, is one of the only valid reactions.

In the full version found on the actor's TikTok, he claims that the parking rules are more confusing than Legault's lockdown rules.

Couldn't have said it better ourselves.
