Framingham Street Parking Basics
Framingham runs year-round odd/even street parking based on the calendar year. Park on even-numbered sides of streets in even years like 2026. Park on odd-numbered sides in odd years. Posted signs always override this rule. Check signs on your block first.
Your 2023 Tesla Model 3 counts as a passenger vehicle. Commercial overnight rules do not apply to you. Commercial vehicles with commercial plates face a ban from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Saturday. The ban covers all day Sunday. This rule started September 1, 2024.
Resident parking stickers cost $25 per vehicle for the full year. Bring proof of your Framingham address to buy one.
Fines run from $25 to $300 based on the violation.
Meters on Concord Street, Hollis Street, and Union Avenue stay free through January 2, 2026. Follow posted time limits. Obey all safety rules like fire lanes and accessible spots.
Snow Emergency Rules
Snow emergencies pause odd/even parking. The city bans parking on both sides of major roads. Here are common no-parking streets during bans:
| Snow Emergency Arteries |
|---|
| Beacon Street |
| Central Street |
| Concord Street |
| Edgell Road |
| Union Avenue |
More than 20 streets face these bans. The city sends alerts when a snow emergency starts and ends. Move your Tesla Model 3 quickly to skip tickets and towing.
Rules change block by block. Some spots post permanent bans like no parking on the even side all year. Signs control the rule even if the year says otherwise.
Practical Tips
- Park on the even side in 2026. Park on the odd side in 2027.
- Read signs every time you park. They beat the odd/even rule and set time limits or bans.
- Move your car fast during snow emergencies. Skip listed arteries and posted snow routes.
- Skip overnight or Sunday parking bans only if you drive a commercial vehicle. Your Tesla Model 3 faces no such limit.
- Buy the $25 resident sticker if needed. Show proof of your Framingham address.
- Check city alerts for snow bans, events, and temp restrictions.
- Use legal spots only. Never block hydrants, driveways, crosswalks, or bus stops.
- Meters cost nothing through January 2, 2026 on named streets. Stick to time limits.
