I believe that guest passes are zoned - that is they must be used in the area where they are issued.
The other day I saw a car with a parking ticket - saying no permit - but they had a guest pass. It was on my street - a different looking guest pass than mine, but the address on the guest pass was two houses down but around the corner - possibly a different zone.
So... I know I'm on the edge of 3 wards, Do the guest passes coincide with the wards? Does anyone know if there is a map, and if I must have my guests park within my zone? This is all new to me as we used to have casual parking. Any insight would be appreciated.

So I'd start w/ reading the pass and seeing if it says anything about it. How would a guest even know where ward boundaries are?

If it's the latter, then it's a fuzzy judgement call (always fun with strictly-enforced rules) and the zone letter doesn't mean much.
