It seems like at one time ladders were nice ways for parents to make sure their kids got a good view of Mardi Gras parades (and were safe from being stepped on). And the rule was that ladders had to be as many feet away from the curb as they were high.
But now, at so many of the big parades, there are virtual walls of ladders, and some of them come right up to the curb.
We all hate more rules (especially at Mardi Gras) - but do we need them when it comes to ladders?
