- Don’t park where signs prohibit parking!
- Keep at least six metres between your vehicle and stop signs, and fire hydrants.
- Only park in the direction traffic travels.
- Make sure you’re no more than 12 inches from the curb to avoid potential fines.
- Alleyways and driveways require at least 1.5 metres between them and your vehicle.
- Private parking stalls are not covered by parking privileges ( e.g. EasyPark)
