Parking question
In this street are 4 parking spots. The two marked red are 4h 6-24 parking slots. While the two marked green do not have any such signs. Neither the sign on red marked areas specify the length (i.e 30m or whatever) that could have extended into green areas. So i was under the impression the 2 green boxes are open parking spots. However, I just saw today that one of the car parked in the green box with parking tickets. The tickets says
Virhe 1: Kellonajat: 6 - 24, Sallittu pysäköintiaika 4 h, Saapumisajaksi ilmoitettu 19:00. I wonder what am i missing.

Parking signs are effective until the next junction, if they don't have clearly marked end.
That road going into that yard, is a "yard road" and thus doesn't qualify as a real junction. Because of that, the parking sign stays if effect, and you also don't have to yield for cars coming from the yard.

Looking at street view, the parking signs are placed at the beginning of the red areas, and parking restrictions are enforced from that point onwards until the next intersection or next sign, whichever comes first.

As far as i know the sign continues unless there is another sign saying otherwise

Whole Latokartano area is prohibited parking area. You can see the big no parking sign when entering the area. Every road side parking spot is marked with a sign that indicates the rules for parking. Most of the areas are 4 hours with parkkikiekko.
