Best Value/After 5 Signs

SDOT has a new approach with SeaPark to ensure access to business districts with on-street paid parking. The goal is to provide visitors and shoppers the benefits of faster, easier, and more convenient on-street parking. Below are new programs and signs to help make your next parking experience easier. SDOT will be rolling out these programs, neighborhood by neighborhood, in the next few months.  Look for the new signs to show where the new programs are available.

After 5

AFTER 5 PM
In eight neighborhoods, parking hours extend to 8 pm to support reliable visitor access in the early evening. On blocks where signs show this icon, the maximum parking time limit is extended from 2 hours to 3 hours after 5 pm. After 5 pm, you can pay until 8 pm and stay all evening.

Best Value

Look for the green check mark to find the Best Value parking blocks, with lower rates or longer time limits. These blocks may be a little farther from your destination but likely have more  parking available, making it easier to find a spot.
