How Long Can You Park in a Blue Parking Space?

[LeColton]

For time-limited free blue parking spaces, there will usually be a sign nearby indicating the free parking period. The free parking hours are not uniformly regulated and depend on the specific location. Parking during the free period is completely fine, but exceeding the free period may result in a ticket. More details are as follows: 1. Blue Parking Spaces: Blue parking spaces indicate free parking spots for motor vehicles or non-motor vehicles and are marked with free parking lines. If the blue line is dashed, it means only limited-time free parking is allowed. A solid blue line indicates long-term free parking. Note that even if the line is solid blue, it’s best not to park for more than a day to avoid a ticket. 2. Parking Space Markings: There are three types of parking space markings—blue, white, and yellow. Blue represents free parking spaces, white represents paid parking spaces (some may be free at night), and yellow represents special vehicle parking spaces (e.g., for fire trucks). Parking spaces with yellow markings usually allow temporary parking but never long-term parking.
