Question 1

Which side do I park on?

Accepted Answer

Park on the side whose house numbers match tonight’s date: odd date, odd side; even date, even side. What counts is tonight’s date, not tomorrow morning’s. So on July 10th you park on the even side, since 10 is even, and you’re fine there until 6 AM on the 11th.

Question 2

What counts as overnight, and do I need a permit?

Accepted Answer

In Milwaukee, overnight parking means parking on the street between 2 and 6 AM. During those hours you need a city night parking permit or free temporary permission, except on Sunday mornings and several holidays.

Question 3

What changes during a snow emergency?

Accepted Answer

The hours start earlier, running 10 PM to 6 AM citywide, and you can’t park on through-highways or bus routes at all. Cars left on them get towed.
