Philadelphia Parking Authority

I don’t know how long ago the PPA made the change to many center city parking time limits ending at 6:30pm + 8pm to 10pm, but I do believe with meters and signage limiting the allowed parking time to 2 hours, it must discourage many visitors who are here for dinner and entertainment to have to be concerned with a 2 hour parking limit. It either forces them to accept a ticket, or park in one of the many PPA  expensive parking lots in the area. This seems to me to be another cynical attitude that the Philadelphia Parking Authority has towards the city. A easy solution would be to change the 2 hour limit to 3 or 4 hours. This would give people more time to relax and enjoy our great city.

    I couldn’t agree more. It seems mighty poor planning to have a 2 hour limit when dinner and movie can take up to 4 hours. It definitely discourages visitors to the city for entertainment.

    I appreciate thee responses. Hear is more info maybe hear-say or not but be careful: The new news I have heard is that the PPA is now chalking tires. This means that you can’t feed the meters for more than two hours. So if you are having dinner in a nice restaurant and your time is up before your meal is finished you have to move and find another parking space. You can no longer buy more time; and you can’t park on the same side of the street in the same numbered block.IN CENTER CITY HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THAT WILL TAKE?? Your food will be cold and your friends will have reported you as missing!!
