A reminder about difference between a Legal Parking Holiday and a Major Legal Parking Holiday

On major legal parking holidays and Sundays:

• ASP rules are NOT in effect
• You do NOT have to feed the meters
• Stopping, standing, or parking is permitted, except in stopping, standing, or parking, which is prohibited seven (7) days per week.
• For example, keep driving if a parking sign says, “No Standing Anytime,”

Your only reward is alternate side parking rules are NOT in effect on just plain Legal Parking Holidays Please obey all parking signs, and feed the meter.

Commentary

This is not the month to make a donation to the Evil Empire’s treasury. $115 can buy some nice stuff for the people you love during the holiday season. Don’t spend it on a costly parking ticket.

My best wishes to you and your family for a wonderful and tranquil holiday season and a prosperous 2017.

Park safely.
