Can transactions in zones in this area be stopped? Extended? Why or why not?
You can not stop a session once started. You must select the amount of time you want in advance and pay for that time with your credit card. If you chose more time than you needed, you will not be able to stop the session or get a refund.
You are able to extend your parking time, if you see that you need more than the amount you initially paid for, as long as you haven't already chosen the meter maximum.
The zone where you are parked is limited in time to what the posted sign reads of your metered space. If you pay for your parking with Parkmobile and do not pay for the maximum time, but then want to use Parkmobile to pay for the remainder of the time left until the maximum, you MUST do so PRIOR to when your original time session is due to expire. If you wait until after your original time expired, you will not be able to extend your session to the maximum time period using Parkmobile.
Example: You park your car at 9:00 AM at a zone with a 2 hour time limit and you pay only until 9:45 AM. You decide you need to park until the maximum limit which would end at 11:00AM. If you wish to use Parkmobile to do so, you must extend your session by no later than 9:45AM. You will be unable to use the system to pay to extend your session if you wait until the original time expires.
This means if your session ends you must move your vehicle for at least 2 hours before starting another paid parking session in that zone. This is what is recognized as a '2-hour no return time'.
By limiting the maximum parking time, more than one vehicle is able to utilize the space. Metered parking promotes short-term parking. If you need to park your vehicle longer than the posted time limit, please park in a parking lots designated for long-term parking with a higher maximum.
If you have any questions about this regulation, please reach out directly to your parking operator so they can provide you the most accurate and applicable information for your area.
Please note: There is $0 cost to extend parking sessions.
