What is On-street Parking?
Posted: July, 23, 2020 11:56AM ET • 1 min read
On-street parking refers to available parking spaces for vehicles on a street within a designated area. Many municipalities across Canada provide on-street parking to the public, which can be within residential or commercial areas. If a paid parking regulation is in place, on-street parking is usually managed and controlled using a combination of parking meters, parking enforcement services, and parking signage that outlines the regulations and instructions for the paid on-street parking area.
Although some on-street parking operations may not have a paid policy in place, there will usually be regulations that stipulate certain hours that vehicles can be parked on the road or how long they can park. Such regulations are controlled by the municipality and enforced by parking or bylaw officers.
