Janelle Wills was given a $113 parking ticket for parking in an operational clearway on Glenfield's Chartwell Ave, but she thinks the fine should be waived because the sign with the parking restrictions was hidden by low hanging trees.
After she complained to Auckland Transport, the trees were "severely" trimmed to reveal the sign.
Auckland Transport said it was the responsibility of the driver to check for parking restrictions, and motorists should walk up to road signs if they have trouble reading them.
What do you think? Should a parking fine be waived if the relevant signage is hidden by trees? Vote in our poll or let us know in the comments.

Meet the man who has considered Auckland Airport his second home for over 20 years.
Twice a week, 86-year-old Les Featherstone takes a taxi to the International Terminal where he volunteers for four-and-a-half hours as an airport ambassador, or Bluecoat.
Twenty-four years is a long time to hold down one job, especially as a volunteer, but Featherstone says signing up was the best thing he's ever done.
In recent times, the airport has taken on a new meaning for him following the death of his wife last month.
Do you plan to volunteer once you retire? What would be your dream role?

A lot of what we're putting in our recycling bins cannot be recycled.
Paul Evans, chief executive of waste management industry body WasteMinz, says in 2018 about 10 per cent of each Auckland household's recycling bin was "contamination" – items that people had put in hoping for the best, but which could not be recycled.

If you're in doubt whether something belongs in the recycling bin, the best practice is to simply leave it out.

An Auckland dog owner is warning of the dangers rat bait can cause after her beloved pet nearly died after ingesting it twice.
Tracy Leach said her 8-year-old golden retriever Daisy first got sick about four weeks ago on their rural property in Glenbrook, south of Auckland.
She bounced back pretty quickly but Leach started to notice she was vomiting constantly and consuming a lot of water - causing her to take Daisy back to the vet.
