Washington Square Area

The WSA residential parking permit allows the permit holder to waive the 3 hour rule

that is in effect Monday through Friday from 9am to 2pm. In other words, if you were to park your vehicle overnight, and did not have a WSA residential permit, you would need to move your vehicle by 11:59 am (as you would then be parked for 3 hours and need to move your vehicle). 

Additionally, there is overnight parking in the WSA area (on the WSA sections of N. Chatsworth Ave, Murray Ave, New Jefferson St, and Washington Sq.) and so the WSA residential parking permit is not utilized for overnight parking.
