Alexandria, Virginia suspends time restrictions for parking

To assist vehicle owners who are now working from home, caring for others, or trying to ensure the flow of goods and services, the City of Alexandria, Virginia suspended enforcement of the parking restrictions. Suspended restrictions include time restrictions for the general public in residential parking permit zones, weekend time restrictions and meter fees on blocks with pay stations, time restrictions for street sweeping, the prohibition against parking on the street for more than 72 hours, the requirement to display a valid state inspection sticker. These changes do not permit parking in any location otherwise prohibited, including “no parking” zones. All other time restrictions not listed above, such as 15-minute spaces or time limits in commercial corridors, will continue to be enforced. Parking enforcement officers will have the discretion to enforce suspended restrictions in exceptional circumstances where a significant traffic safety or community concern exists, or as necessary to ensure the safe and orderly movement of vehicles.
