Nelson City Parking – One Hour Free!
Take a ticket from the meter and your first hour is free! If you have parked on an individual lollipop meter you don’t need to obtain a ticket, as these meters do not issue paper tickets. But you can still park for your first hour for free. Thereafter, please observe the time limits and if it is a 2 hour time zone or more, you can pay $2 per hour for every extra hour you want to park. Here are the important things to know:
- You must use a new Pay-by-Plate meter even if parking for free.
- Parking fees after the first free hour will be at the rate of $2.00 per hour.
- The Parking Bylaw and fees apply from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 1pm on Saturday.
- Maximum time limits apply – check signs and meters for times
- Free all-day parking is available on the city fringes, and for car-pool permit holders in the city centre.
- When parking in the squares, don’t park facing oncoming traffic.
- Motorcycles can park in designated parking spots for free. If a motorcycle parks in a paid car park, then it must pay and abide by the time limits.
- We have a couple of guides to help with parking:
