Parking & Curbside Regulations

• When parking your car at visitor attractions or around the city, note curbside regulations and park within marked stalls. If your car is missing from where you parked it, call the police or ask for information to see if it has been towed.
• Note the following curb markings which are common and strictly enforced:
  
  • White: Three-minute maximum, (10 minutes at hotels) for active loading only, 24 hours a day, unless otherwise noted.
  • Exception: Airport/Hospital - the driver must stay with the car. ( some airports have limited parking in front of the drop off areas, be sure and look for signs that tell you how long you may have.)
  • Green: Short-term parking for the posted duration or unlimited time with a visible disabled placard.
  • Yellow: Twenty-minute loading zone for vehicles with commercial plates only, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. except Sundays and certain holidays, unless otherwise posted.
  • Red: No stopping, standing or parking. Be especially observant of the marked fire lanes.
  • Blue: Reserved for physically disabled persons only with vehicles marked by an out-of-state officially issued placard or plate. These violations are generally vigorously enforced and costly. 
  • Parking Meters: Some meters only accept quarters and are enforced Monday-Saturday, 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Meters with yellow poles are also enforced on Sundays.
  • Tow Away Zone: Any location is potentially a tow away zone if you park illegally. Tow away zones are clearly marked and the regulations are strictly enforced. Having your car towed can be expensive.
