Did you know? "Feeding the meter" – adding more money to extend your time beyond the posted limit – is illegal because it prevents others from using that space.

Did you know? You can legally park at a broken meter but the posted time limit still applies.

E-mail the SFMTA about another comment, question, or problem.
