Full Breakdown
The overnight rule in the Everett Revised Ordinances is Section 18-139(f), and it turns on where a vehicle is registered rather than on which street it sits. In the City of Everett, Massachusetts, in Middlesex County, no person can park a vehicle that is not, according to the records kept by the Registry of Motor Vehicles, validly registered in the City of Everett at any time on a public way or part of a public way, or in a municipal parking lot, between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m. Vehicles registered outside the city that are parking for the purpose of deliveries or pick-ups are exempt, provided the delivery or pick-up does not exceed one hour. Subsection (f)(1) states the purpose: to prohibit vehicles not registered in Everett from parking overnight. Subsection (f)(2) restricts the Everett City Hall Parking Lot during non-business hours to automobiles with a valid Everett Residential Parking Sticker, and every other automobile there is subject to a twenty-five dollar ($25.00) parking ticket.
Other overnight rules sit nearby. Section 18-148 runs the resident sticker program from 1:00 AM to 6:00 AM in designated business areas and from 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM in designated residential areas, Monday through Friday, with Sundays and Holidays excluded. Section 18-143 lets the chief of police declare a weather parking ban, during which motor vehicles park only on the odd-numbered side of the street in odd-numbered years and on the even-numbered side in even-numbered years. That section is in effect from November 1st through March 31st, and it does not apply to streets where parking is already prohibited or to streets designated as snow emergency arteries.
