Is this legal advice?

No. ParkCheck is a guidance tool. Always check nearby signs and road markings before parking.

How accurate is the OCR?

It depends on photo quality. A clear, straight-on photo with good light usually works well.

The three biggest causes are poor lighting, an angled shot, and motion blur. Stand closer, tap to focus, and avoid shadows.

Only if the sign is unrecognised and you choose to submit it. Otherwise the image never leaves your device.
