Medford Parking Update

 

Hello, this is the City of Medford with a Parking update.

Over the past few weeks, the Parking Department has worked hard to upgrade both new and existing systems and has been conducting “warning” enforcement citywide. With all of this now underway, official live enforcement of parking violations, with fines, will begin on Monday, March 28th. The Parking Department will enforce parking-related violations including:

• Parking on a permit-only street without a resident permit
• Parking at a meter without paying
• Parking more than 12 inches from the curb
• Parking within 20 feet of an intersection
• Parking within 10 feet of a fire hydrant
• Parking in a Handicap space without a proper permit, or obstructing a ramp

The Parking Department will also issue violations for vehicles parked the wrong way on any street. Under state regulation, vehicles must park in the direction that traffic flows. Parking in the wrong direction can be unsafe for many reasons, and those vehicles will be ticketed. For a full list of parking violations that will be enforced, visit www.medfordma.org/parking. For equity and consistency, the City does not spot enforce potential parking violations, therefore please do not call the Parking Department to report common violations. Parking Control Specialists will monitor all neighborhoods during their normal routes.
 
As a reminder, you can obtain resident, business, or senior parking permits either through the City’s website at medfordma.org/parking or in person at City Hall, Room 110. If you would like to obtain a visitor parking permit, you will need to visit the Parking Department in person. Visitor permits cannot be obtained online.
