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.

Residential-permit signs matter here. Drivers without the correct sticker should focus on legal visitor, metered, and clearly unrestricted spaces.
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.
