Some spots have different rules. Chestnut Street Garage and Bicentennial Garage charge Monday to Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 3 a.m. Sunday stays free in those garages. Justice Center Garage follows Borough hours. On the 200 block of Miner Street west of Darlington, you need permits from 5 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day.
First Fridays suspend metered parking from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. for events. Check signs every time. Special events or funerals change rules too. Yellow curbs mean no parking at any time. One tire on yellow gets you a ticket. Fines add up fast in busy areas like zip code 19308.
