Visitor & Driver Tips

If visiting for court dates or municipal morning hearings, plan to arrive before 8:30 AM to secure lower-level spots and avoid peak morning commuter queues. Keep your ticket handy or register your mobile parking session upon arrival to speed up your departure. When departing during the 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM evening rush hour, turning onto Rockville Pike can experience congestion; utilizing East Middle Lane to circumvent main thoroughfare bottlenecks often saves valuable commute time.
