Parking nightmares!

Okay, not exactly a nightmare, but confusing as all heck, I'll tell you.

I decided I didn't like the front side parking lot because

1. it's not easy getting out -- a lot of tight squeezes and bizarre "no left turns" and people wandering aimlessly
2. a lot of foot traffic on the sidewalk as you're trying to exit (almost hit a guy on a bike)
3. hard to get all the way to left turn lane from the exit

So I decided that this morning I would park in the back, near the back entrance. That way, I could get out without so many hassles AND I wouldn't have to walk too far (now why would I want to do that?). I got confused when I turned onto Walnut, and I ended up turning left into the same front parking lot. No big deal -- I can just drive through the parking lot to the back one. I turned to the right and headed towards the back and was told I couldn't turn left again (different sign). So I turned right and ended up where I started. I took a quick look around and realized you can't get to the back from the front on this side of the parking lot. How stupid is that? The only way to get to the back is by not being confused (I usually am all the time) and turning left from Walnut at the second entrance. So, my choices, as limited as they were: pull out, make a u-turn on Walnut and go to the second entrance or just park there again. I just parked there again. Since BART's pretty dead that early on Fridays, I didn't have any people trailing me like I was an 80-year old driver, and I could take a look around. That parking lot has to be the most confusing "you can't go this way, only that way" parking lot I've ever been in. Really bizarre. I'm not sure if it was always like that or if they designed it that way with the resurfacing, but I'll tell you, it is really confusing.

And to top all this off -- the parking in the back that they've sectioned off still hasn't been worked on. Why section it off if you can't start working on it??

The wind has caused an overall free-for-all back there anyway. Most of the yellow tape they strung between horses has broken since the wind knocked the horses over. And since no one's actively working on the resurfacing back there, people just drive between the horses to get where they need to go. Parking lot anarchy!
