Getting around
Parking can be tricky
Pay attention to the signage, particularly on streets in neighborhoods near the Seawall. Residential Permit Parking is enforced when you least expect it. Download the PayByPhone app before your arrival to save yourself some time. Also, take notice of parking signs in The Strand District. Can be tricky at times.
