Parking Signs 101: Metered Parking Fine: $35-$65
The green "metered parking" sign is ubiquitous throughout the five boroughs and is most often found on the city's most active streets and avenues. These signs stipulate that all cars must pay the meter rate and display a receipt from a Muni Meter found on the same side of the block throughout the duration of the designated hours the metered parking regulation is in effect. Each sign may have a time limit for how long you may park. (In our example you may park anywhere on the block for up to 6 hours). There is a 5 minute grace period that allows you to purchase your metered receipt; the 5 minute grace period also applies once the receipt expires.
