How To Park Correctly at a Meter? |
|
|
|
First make sure you are parked within the meter space. Envision a line extending out |
|
|
from each meter into the street. There is twenty feet of space between each meter. |
|
|
This is the space within which to park. A safe rule is to keep the meter roughly two |
|
|
to three feet in front of the front bumper. Also be sure to feed the correct meter. |
|
|
See the diagram below for a visual reference. |

How Do I Park Correctly at a Meter with Two Heads? |
|
|
First, envision a line extending out into the street from the meter pole. There is twenty |
|
|
feet allocated for each meter. In the case of a double meter pole the space between the |
|
|
meter poles is forty feet. You will have to visualize the midpoint between the meters. |
|
|
If you park with the double meter at the rear of your car feed the
meter at your rear |
|
|
bumper. A safe rule is to keep the meter pole two or three feet behind your rear bumper. |
|
|
If you park with the double meter at the front of your car feed the meter at your front |
|
|
bumper. A safe rule is to keep the meter pole two or three feet in front of your front |
|
|
bumper. See the diagram below for a visual reference. |

Why did I get a ticket when I fed the meter next to my car??? |
|
|
When parking at a meter your vehicle may only occupy the space for that meter. It is okay to occupy
more |
|
than one metered space however, time must be placed on
the meters that govern those spaces. See the |
|
|
diagram below for a visual reference. The car is parked in two metered spaces and is responsible |
|
|
for placing time on the meters indicated by the green check mark. In this case the vehicle could be |
|
|
issued a ticket for not placing time on the second meter. |
