guest parking passes - zoned?

[kalimba21.livejournal.com]

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.

People who use my visitor pass park within a few houses of my house.

Somerville frequently tickets cars that use the visitors pass too many days in a row. "These cards are to be used by your visitors only twice a week in the same vehicle," according to the city's web site.

This is my favorite rule. An ex-boyfriend got a ticket for being at my house too much. Somerville also wants us to keep 4 feet on the floor while sitting on the couch together and to "leave room for the Holy Ghost" while dancing.

I think it's to keep people like the ones on my street from doing what they do. There's a car from NY, one from VA, and one from Utah. I see each of these cars all the time, and they rotate them in and out of the parking spots in the driveways so that the cars don't get ticketed.

Interestingly enough, the one from VA says TIE FTR. That's about the only reason I haven't called 311 on it.
