Practical Tips to Avoid Tickets
- Read the meter sticker and all nearby signs before you park or pay.
- Pay from 12 AM to 11 PM. Skip payment after 11 PM, but get a permit for street parking from 2:30 AM to 5 AM.
- Track time limits. Switch spots on the same block? It may not reset your time.
- Use mobile pay to add time. Stay under the posted limit.
- See a broken meter? Follow the time limit. Snap a photo as proof.
- Need hours for your 2020 Porsche 911? Pick a city garage. Public lots work best for long stays.
Plan late nights in a city garage. Skip street spots to dodge the 2:30 AM to 5 AM ban. Watch for event signs and street sweeping alerts. These change rules on some days.
