Always ensure your license plate is correctly entered if using a digital payment system to prevent unnecessary citations. During peak event days, check local apps such as ParkMobile to see if pre-booking options are available to guarantee your spot before you depart. Finally, keep your valuables out of sight to maintain vehicle security while you enjoy your day in the city.
