Driving and Parking
Driving is the quickest way to reach most destinations discussed here, but parking rules vary between Town streets and Village municipal lots. In Village lots, park wholly within marked spaces; designated accessible spaces require the appropriate special registration plate or permit.
The South Main Street municipal lot has a two-hour-per-day limit during any 20-hour period, except for its two most southerly rows. Village rules also prohibit leaving a vehicle on a public street, highway, alley or public place for more than 48 continuous hours.
Town code sets restrictions by street, including all-time bans, specified hours and posted time limits, so check the applicable local rules before leaving your car.
