Rules vary by block. Posted Boston signs control the curb, especially for resident-only blocks, street cleaning, meter limits, loading zones, and snow emergency routes.
Dorchester is large and varied, with residential blocks, station-area demand, commercial corridors, and neighborhood-specific permit and cleaning patterns.

Treat Dorchester as a block-by-block search. What works near Ashmont or Fields Corner may not work near Savin Hill or Uphams Corner.
Resident Parking Only signs require a valid Boston permit sticker for the posted neighborhood. Visitor spaces can have two-hour limits or other conditions.
Most daytime sweeping runs April 1 through November 30, but posted signs control and some Boston areas or main roads follow different patterns.
Most meters run 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, while posted snow emergency arteries can become ticket-and-tow risks during declared emergencies.
