How the service works
A parking subzone is the four-digit location used for payment. It is different from the lot’s short name, such as P 1. Confirm the sign beside the vehicle before paying, especially when a nearby street has another time limit or rate. The app cannot cancel the signed maximum stay.
The location descriptions below are approximate blocks read from the city’s May 30, 2025 parking-zone map. They are not surveyed entrances or numbered civic addresses. Use the linked official map and local lot signs for access. This guide covers all six daily lots in the city’s short-term table, not private parking.
