Parking Meter Time Limits
Each pay station has the time limit (2 hr. – 10 hr.) posted. Your time parked on the block cannot extend the time limit posted. Time limits are enforced to encourage turnover of the parking spaces. Parkers requiring long-term parking are encouraged to park off-street in a surface lot or garage.
