San Francisco changes parking enforcement policies

Enforcement will be temporarily suspended for the following: 72-hour parking limit and towing; all time limit parking (e.g., 1-hour, 2-hour, etc.); Residential Permit Parking (RPP) permits; commuter shuttles; peak-hour tow away zones; and street cleaning. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) prioritizes enforcing parking rules that impact health and safety: fire hydrant zones; red & yellow zones; & "No Stopping" or "No Parking" zones; white passenger loading zones, except in front of schools while they are out of session; blocked driveways, double parking & parking on sidewalks; and parking in bicycle or transit lanes. Given the significant shifts in parking demand, the city is implementing a temporary rate change for all parking meters citywide until further notice. Time limits are also being waived on meters citywide. All meters will be temporarily reduced to their base rates. The city is maintaining a minimal fee to ensure there continues to be turnover around essential services, such as grocery stores, medical facilities and banks.
