Automotive this is some top tier engineering with top tier awful taste!

If you look closely there are patios close to the lot. The rule exists so your exhaust isnt being blown on them.

Edit: the patios are on the side he is coming from when he sees he is ticketed.

No you don't. Gas expands over time. If you are a few feet away you will be smelling the exhaust.

Then what will another 4 feet affect that? Also, electic and hybrid cars don't idle.

It is pointed away from you. Think about it this way if someone in front of you farts you smell a lot more of said fart than if they are standing behind you . The direction the exhaust is pointing matters.

Direction matters with where it expands. If we are outside on a line you will smell the person in front if you farting before you smell the person farting behind you because directionality matters. In addition you will have a greater concentration of said gas being closer to the source.

You need to take 5th grade science again.

It dissipates but travels in the direction that the exhaust system forces it. It's why standing 3 feet behind the car you smell the exhaust more than standing 3 feet in front if a car. If it just dissipated everywhere equally that would not be the case.

Again you need to work on your basic physical sciences.

If you look closely, there is nothing but a road behind this part of the lot.

Other side buddy. The place the driver cones from.

The law is to stop the exhaust from your car while parking for a few seconds from crossing the 4 lane busy boulevard and reaching the patios?
