Most parking meters have a time limit of 2 hours, if you are lucky you
may be able to park for free in Main Street itself. There are many spots to park
and it doesn't take long to walk into town (I'd say 5 min's tops). We have our own ticket
enforcement people on the roam during the day, so to avoid a bad experience, abide by the parking rules.
No parking or stopping areas, are clearly marked with a red curb, and don't park in loading zones, which are again clearly marked. Time limits are indicated with signs and parking meters are run seven days a week, and are coin operated. At the rear of the post office (lot d) the parking is free but the parking spots near to Main Street are metered (the orange coin operated dispensers help) and the ticket must be displayed on your dashboard.
