Bye, Bye Time Limits!

Welcome to a kinder, gentler parking system...

Do you want to be forced to finish lunch in 30 minutes? Have you ever gone to dinner in 1 hour flat?

Of course not!

Time limits are a thing of the past in Downtown Redwood City*. Signs have been removed and meters have been reprogrammed to allow you to deposit enough money for a longer stay. No more chalking tires! This will make Downtown Redwood City the most convenient downtown to park in on the Peninsula!

In Downtown Redwood City we want you to feel free to spend the whole day here. Just pay the meter and forget about it. We won't make you cut your visit short!

Now, prices will be structured so that the most popular spaces are most expensive and the less popular spaces are cheaper. We will occasionally adjust prices up if an area gets too crowded and will adjust prices down if an area is too empty. This will prevent people from congesting the best parking areas. This innovative parking management system is called "performance-based pricing" and it gives you many benefits, such as available parking spaces when and where you want them, and no time limits. Stay as long as you'd like!

* Some time limits will remain for special circumstances, such as loading zones. See signs and meters for the most up-to-date information. Outside of Downtown time limits will still apply.
