New Parking Zones in Effect in Atlanta

The city of Atlanta is implementing new parking enforcement zones around the city, and that means the rules are changing in some spots. The new zones include business, govement, schools, entertainment, and mixed-use zones in metered locations around Atlanta.

PARKAtlanta says they’re adding single and multi-space solar-powered meters along with enhanced signage and payment options.

The changes follow a temporary parking moratorium in the city, which ended on June 10. Enforcement of parking restrictions by PARKAtlanta was suspended while the city developed new recommendations for improved enforcement. The changes were sparked by an outpouring of complaints over 24-hour ticketing around the city.

Here’s a breakdown of the new zones:

Business/Govement zone:
• This is an area where parking is occupied by patrons of business or govement offices with high need for tuover parking
• Enforcement days are Monday through Saturday
• Enforcement hours are 7 A.M. to 7 P.M.
• Parking time limit is two hours
Mixed-use zone
• This is an area where buildings have multiple uses which include both residential and commercial but do not have onsite parking
• Enforcement days are Monday through Friday
• Enforcement hours are 8 A.M. to 6 P.M.
• Parking time limit is three hours
School/University zone

• This is an area where the majority of parking is occupied by attendees of post-secondary colleges and/or universities
• Enforcement days are Monday through Saturday
• Enforcement hours are 7 A.M. to 7 P.M.
• Parking time limit is three hours
Entertainment/Restaurant/Hospital zones

• This is an area where the majority of parking is occupied by patrons of theaters, museums, restaurants, other entertainment venues, and hospitals
