Residential parking permits
Residential parking permits ensure that residents have priority in parking on their streets.
Residential parking programs are created in areas where there is a high demand for parking. This can include neighbourhoods with schools, hospitals, or busy commercial areas.
Streets with residential parking combine restricted resident parking with time-limited and unregulated spaces for visitors.
Exceptions to residential parking rules
- Vehicles displaying a valid SPARC permit for people with disabilities can park for up to three hours
- Car share vehicles—Modo, Zipcar, and car2go—can park for an unlimited amount of time, in residentially restricted zones, in support of our goal to become the greenest city by 2020
