On-Street Time Limit Parking

Time limits are clearly posted in all controlled parking areas. Look for signs or for curb markings. After you have parked in a time limit zone for the posted time you must move your vehicle at least 150 feet to avoid being cited. The Parking Enforcement section uses tire chalking and the chalk-less AutoFind System to determine the length of time a vehicle is parked in a space.  It is illegal to remove a chalk mark from your vehicle's tire.

The City utilizes both on-street and off-street metered parking throughout the City.  The Parking Division uses state-of-the-art electronic parking meters which accept quarters, dimes and nickels and the Smart Parkcard (not accepted on the meters at Municipal Wharf II.  Each meter lists the hours of enforcement. Please read the meter carefully. Click here for a list of metered area locations and hourly rates.
