Large Checkmarks Spotted on Vehicles in Lafayette

(Lafayette, Louisiana) - Some of you may have spotted large checkmarks on some vehicles in Acadiana, and here's why they're on vehicles.

Often, when you're in traffic, you may notice things on vehicles and ask, "Why is that on that vehicle?" And that is precisely the case here with large checkmarks on some vehicles.

Sure, we've had reports in the past here that noted that if there's something strange left on your vehicle, you should be concerned, but that is not the case here. Lafayette recently hosted Festival International, and one business in the downtown Lafayette district was "checking" off vehicles in their parking lot.

If you paid to park in a particular lot downtown, you may have a similar check on your back window, and it's to signify that you paid to park in a designated parking lot for the festival.

The parking lot was charging drivers $25 to park, and someone was monitoring the lot. One way to note that a vehicle was paid to park was by placing checkmarks on the windows.

Last year, the same parking lot marked the vehicles similarly, and it was not easy to remove their marking. I am hoping that those with checkmarks on their vehicles will be able to remove them more easily this year..

So, if you see a check mark on a vehicle in Acadiana and it resembles the one you see, there's nothing to worry about; chances are the vehicle was parked in a paid parking lot in downtown Lafayette for the festival.

Now, let's get to scrubbing these marks off our vehicles as you don't want this marking to sit for too long on the glass.
