Summary

Revere runs a city-wide resident parking sticker program under Chapter 10.34 that reserves overnight street parking for residents. Signs posted at the city's main entrances put the restriction in effect from midnight to 6:00 a.m. daily, excluding holidays, and vehicles without a valid sticker or placard are subject to enforcement during those hours.

The purpose of the resident sticker parking program is to maximize the availability of parking for Revere residents while discouraging long-term visitor parking on residential streets and commuter parking near public transportation access points. ... A vehicle displaying a valid residential parking sticker on the vehicle shall be permitted to stand, park, or stop on the street where the applicant resides or on an adjacent street. The provisions of this chapter shall not relieve any person from the duty to observe other ordinances prohibiting or limiting the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles at specific times. ... A resident parking sticker shall not guarantee or reserve a parking space on the street on which the applicant resides or on an adjacent street. ... Street signs shall read, "City-Wide Resident Parking in Effect from 12:00AM to 6:00AM, Excluding Holidays, Unless Otherwise Posted."
