Here\u2019s what street curb colors in Berkeley mean:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Red curbs<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mean no stopping, standing, or parking under any circumstances, so no idling your car or unloading passengers at any time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\"><strong>Yellow curbs<\/strong><\/span> are for commercial use. To park in a yellow curb zone for up to 20 minutes, drivers must have either a City of Berkeley Business Decal, a marked vehicle with logos and lettering or commercial plates issued by the DMV. Everyone else is able to load or unload passengers for up to three minutes. These zones are active between 7AM and 6PM, Monday through Saturday. Yellow zones may also function as metered spaces during certain hours. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Green curbs<\/span><\/strong> indicate short-term timezone parking. Check the signs for detailed rules, as they vary, but parking in this zone is usually allowed if your vehicle is parked for up to thirty minutes. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\">White curbs<\/span><\/strong> designate passenger loading zones. Unless signs are posted otherwise, drivers may pick up or drop off passengers, or deposit mail in a nearby mailbox. These zones are enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Blue curbs<\/span><\/strong> are reserved for disabled parking. Drivers must display a valid disabled placard or license plate from any state to park in this zone. Blue curb rules are active 24 hours a day, seven days a week on public streets and private lots.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Understanding Street Parking Rules:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span>\u2705\u00a0<\/span>If you\u2019re parked in a 2-hour parking spot, paying the meter after two hours will not exempt you from ticketing. In fact, you\u2019ll likely be ticked because these limits are strictly enforced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span>\u2705\u00a0<\/span>Look for temporary parking signs that may change street parking rules, which may be present during city events or construction projects. They\u2019ll be posted 24 hours prior to the start of an event or 72 hours before the start of construction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span>\u2705\u00a0<\/span>Preferential Permit Parking areas are designated for city residents with permits, but other drivers are able to park in this area for up to two hours. If it\u2019s the day of a Football Game, parking tickets in these areas double, so watch out! After 7PM, the 2-hour limit expires.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is the \u201872 hour rule\u2019 for parking?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you park anywhere on a public street in Berkeley, you must move your car before after 72 hours. This limit is strictly enforced, and many residents know the terror of walking out onto the street after a long weekend to find their car has been towed away by the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How much does metered street parking cost in Berkeley? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The City of Berkeley uses two separate rate programs for metered parking. Downtown, goBerkeley designates approximately 2,000 metered spaces with hourly rates between $2.00-3.50. In all other metered areas, the rate is $1.50.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where can I find free and cheap parking in Berkeley?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most parking spaces in Berkeley that are near the downtown areas and the university are metered or under the rule of the goBerkeley metered parking program. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To find free parking spaces in Berkeley, simply visit this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotangels.com\/berkeley-parking\">Berkeley parking map<\/a> and look for parking areas near your destination marked \u2018free\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spotangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-15-at-6.25.12-PM-1-300x153.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"153\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7502 size-medium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spotangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-15-at-6.25.12-PM-1-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/www.spotangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-15-at-6.25.12-PM-1-1024x524.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.spotangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-15-at-6.25.12-PM-1-1536x786.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotangels.com\/berkeley-parking\"><button class=\"button button-blog\">Visit The Real-Time Berkeley Parking Map<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where in Berkeley can I park overnight? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find yourself near campus on a Friday night, most zones are free to park after 5pm Friday through Sunday, and you\u2019re able to leave your car all weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Residents recommend avoiding the downtown area between Bancroft Way and Dwight Way between Dana Street and Telegraph Avenue because the area experiences a high number of overnight car break-ins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you\u2019re in a metered zone or along a restricted curb, many of the city\u2019s residential spaces are open for overnight parking. Read nearby signs to determine specific rules, or visit the SpotAngels <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotangels.com\/berkeley\/berkeley-overnight-parking\">overnight parking<\/a> map to see the time limits that each block enforces. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What do I do if my car gets towed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your car has been towed by the city, call the number listed on the parking sign nearest you. The city of Berkeley enforces its towing en masse, and only the registered owner of the vehicle is able to pick up the impounded car. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to appeal the city\u2019s decision to tow your car, you can schedule a tow hearing with the Traffic Bureau by calling (510)981-5980.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How does metered street parking work in Berkeley?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Berkeley uses two types of meters for street parking: multi-space (IPS pay stations) and single-space. Every meter accepts Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards, as well as coins up to one dollar. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, meters are active between the hours of 9AM to 6PM Monday through Saturday, with the exception of certain holidays, and all meters can be prepaid two hours before 9AM. So if you park your car in a metered spot at 7AM, you\u2019re able to pay for two hours of parking and leave your car until 11AM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How long can I park in a metered space? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spotangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/city_of_berkeley_metered_street_parking.jpg\" alt=\"Berkeley street parking meter sign\" width=\"229\" height=\"195\" class=\"wp-image-3138 alignleft\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spotangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/city_of_berkeley_metered_street_parking.jpg 930w, https:\/\/www.spotangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/city_of_berkeley_metered_street_parking-300x256.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.spotangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/city_of_berkeley_metered_street_parking-768x655.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/>Time limits in Berkeley are strictly enforced, and adding more money after meter expiration won\u2019t save you from a ticket. Even if your meter is broken, parking longer than the designated time limit is in violation and you\u2019ll likely receive a ticket. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2-hour time limits are common, but check nearby signs or the Berkeley street parking map to determine how long you\u2019re able to park on your specific block.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to know how long you can park in a metered parking space is by downloading the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dl.spotangels.com\/dwF8swf72Q\">SpotAngels app<\/a>, which allows you to see parking restrictions along your block in real-time.
