Visitor & Driver Tips

For the best experience, we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before any major university or city events, as demand for spaces can fluctuate during peak hours. Always ensure your vehicle is parked well within the designated markings to avoid obstruction. We suggest using a navigation app to monitor real-time traffic updates on Main Street, as local congestion can vary during university semester peak times.
