newbie parking question

[mermaidcafe.livejournal.com]

Hi all!

I'm new to the Davis area and to the great Northeast as well, so hi!

I need to leave my car near the T at Davis overnight tonight. Can I park in a metered lot overnight as long as I pay until they stop metering? Other suggestions?

Thanks! Looking forward to meeting folks here.

Erin

Park at Alwife?

+1 - lots cheaper than paying for parking tickets and/or towing if you get a cranky attendant.

Though if s/he truly is only parking between the metering hours, Davis is definitely cheaper, since parking overnight at Alewife will cost you 2 days worth of parking. But yeah, they should definitely make sure to read the parking signs in Davis carefully. And hey, if it's on a Saturday night that they're parking, they doesn't have to worry about what time on Sunday they movie their car, since there's no metering on Sundays.

no it won't. they charge by 24 periods, not days.

Any time I've parked overnight they've charged me for 2 days. I suppose it's possible that every time Ive done it it's been more than 24 hours, but I don't think so.

I do it frequently for snow, and so long as it's less than 24 hours, they only charge me 5 dollars.
