For Confused Locals and Visitors: 4 Essential DC Parking Tips to Avoid Being Towed
1. Read signs from top to bottom - the top sign (like "Snow Emergency Route") always has priority and overrides any parking permissions below it.
2. Pay attention to directional arrows - they show exactly which areas the restrictions apply to, preventing you from parking illegally by just a few feet. And yes, they do enforce those few feet.
3. "No Standing or Parking Anytime" means exactly that - regardless of holidays, weekends, or whether you're just "running in for a minute," you'll get towed.
4. When multiple signs seem contradictory, always follow the most restrictive one - if in doubt, find another spot rather than risking an expensive tow and ticket. Because if you play games in DC, you win prizes in the mail and oj your windshield.
