Residents may receive up to 2 free visitors parking permits per household through the police department. Visitors must display the permit while parked in residential areas. (Note different rules for the Winter Hill Zone 1 area.) Please note that these restrictions do not apply to service or delivery vehicles conducting business in a residential area.
