Signs and curb markings
The sign at the space is the most specific instruction. Check arrows, days, hours, permit zones, and curb color.
What to check anywhere
A legal-looking space can still be restricted by a posted sign, a citywide rule, or a time limit.
Overnight restrictions
Some cities prohibit or permit-limit overnight parking, including on otherwise unrestricted residential streets.
Street sweeping
Days, sides, and enforcement windows vary by block. A city service schedule may not match the hours printed on the sign.
Time and vehicle limits
Posted limits and citywide continuous-parking rules can apply even when no other restriction is active.
