1,007 Spot-Saving Traffic Cones Rounded Up By Philly Police

PHILADELPHIA — Parking in Philadelphia can be very difficult, and to ensure a spot, some Philadelphians deploy traffic cones to save parking spaces.

But one Philadelphia Police district has made an effort to level the parking playing field by seizing hundreds of spot-saving traffic cones.

Officers in the 24th District of the Philadelphia Police Department spend time rounding up 1,007 cones used to illegally hold parking spots, police said.

Twenty-Fourth District officers challenged officers in the 15th District to beat their 1,007 cones.
