Parking Laws

The Elm Park Neighborhood has limited parking capabilities and it is appreciated if you please observe all parking rules to ensure maximum occupancy of available parking spots and a smooth traffic flow.

Painted Marker Lines - There are yellow marker lines painted in the streets in the neighborhood to help you identify those areas where parking is prohibited. These lines mark no parking areas that include:

Violators can receive a parking ticket for violations. Vehicles may be towed if it is causing a hazardous situation, is restricting traffic flow or is blocking access to a driveway.

Resident Parking - There are some streets where parking is allowed only with resident parking permits. If you reside in one of these areas and wish to get a resident parking permit, please contact the Worcester Police Department at (508) 799-8606.

Sidewalks - It is unlawful to park on sidewalks, block sidewalks with a vehicle or to drive over sidewalks to park in yards. Violators can receive a parking ticket for violations. Vehicles may be towed if it is causing a hazardous situation or is impeding pedestrians using the sidewalks.
