Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend checking real-time availability via mobile parking apps if you are planning to arrive during major nearby events. Arriving at least 45 to 60 minutes before scheduled local events can help you avoid potential traffic bottlenecks on San Julian Street. Always secure your valuables out of sight, and keep your license plate number handy, as many modern systems in this area utilize digital enforcement rather than traditional paper permits.
