Parking, postings & building rules
Temporary No Parking (TNP) postings/permits: Whether curb reservations are useful depends on your exact block (meters/load zones/bike lanes), time of day, and building rules.
We’ll advise the best approach for your address (legal load zones, driveway/garage with permission, or when TNP signage is worth it) and share step-by-step instructions if a posting/permit is appropriate—requests are placed by you. We issue COIs promptly and can send them to building management.
- Lead time: Berkeley often requires ~72 hours advance posting for TNP signs; aim for at least 1 week for postings or elevator/dock reservations.
- Timing tip: Weekday mornings are usually smoother; expect student traffic near campus and weekend congestion around Downtown/4th Street.
