Can I fight a parking ticket when the no parking sign was covered up my stickers?
I parked there and never got a ticket but but then, 3 days later my friend parked there and got a ticket. If there is a sign saying "No Parking", it is completely covered up by stickers.

Give it a shot. If the sign was covered, you can't be expected to have seen it. As the previous answer suggested, take some pictures.

If a no parking sign is faded to the point where it is completely white and illegible, can it be enforced?
I parked in a zone that was apparently a no-parking zone last night and my car got towed. I noticed that there was a rectangular sign hanging on the fence directly in front of where I parked my car but even with the headlights shining directly on it, it still appeared to be a blank white sign. Is it legal that my car was towed even though the sign that was posting this parking restriction was unreadable?

Excellent question! Here's where we find out who among us attended all the Creditors' Remedies lectures at law school. Well, yes, a photo of the illegible sign is good but quite apart from that it's worth checking whether a parking violation is sufficient at law for a municipality to seize an asset such as a car. Usually remedies are limited by the value of creditor's interest in the asset. Here, the municipality has NO interest in your car and NO right to seize it. This is not common knowledge b/c supposedly it's in the public interest to take a strong line against 'illegal' parking. But seizing property (towing) unless there is legislation that specifically provides for this in the circs described is verboten. In fact, in some jurisdictions, creditor/debtor legislation actually provides money damages to those whose property has been wrongfully seized in addition to an action in conversion (theft, really). Check it out. You might have some fun with this or maybe brighten an atty's day. Last time I checked the fee required by these towing contractors to liberate a vehicle so seized was quite considerable!

What does a left arrow no parking sign mean?
I parked to the right of sign that said no parking with a left arrow and still got a ticket. Why?

You obviously were parked illegally.

What is the difference between a parking sign with bidirectional arrows, and a sign without?
Ive been told that the ones without the arrows indicated the beginning or end of a parking zone, and the ones with the bidirectional arrows indicated the rule is for the entire street unless otherwise noted by another sign with only one arrow. Ticket says not following the 20-minute parking sign, but dads car was not parked in the area between the two signs. Sucks that my dad got that ticket after a hard day of chemotherapy for his cancer.

That is correct. However, it does NOT extend the entire length of the street - you must stay at least 25 to 50 feet from the corner of any intersection.
