Visitor & Driver Tips
Broad Street can experience moderate traffic flow during weekday morning and afternoon commute hours, so plan an extra 5 to 10 minutes when traveling to nearby flight departures at SBP airport. Because this is an open-air lot, vehicle owners are advised to use sunshades during warm summer months to reduce interior heat build-up. Always confirm on-site posted signage for current designated stall regulations, time allowances, and payment instructions before leaving your vehicle.
