The changes are as follows:

• Beginning at noon on February 20, “No Parking 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.” and the one-and two-hour restrictions will be lifted. The restrictions will return to place at 2 a.m. on Monday, February 23.

However, lawn parking still will not be permitted. All Pennsylvania Vehicle Code Violations will also still be strictly enforced. Some of these enforcements include:

• No parking on sidewalks
• No parking within an intersection
• No parking on a crosswalk
• No parking within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection
• No parking within 30 feet of a stop sign
• No parking over 12 inches from the curb
• No parking against traffic
• No parking in front of a driveway
• No parking anytime

Per usual, those who do not comply with the list above will be subject to ticketing and towing. Parking meters on-street and parking lots will also still be enforced from 10 a.m to 10 p.m. throughout the weekend.
