NEW Saturday Parking Enforcement Begins
Starting Saturday, October 15, 2022
RICHMOND, Va. – Beginning Saturday, October 15, 2022,
the City of Richmond will begin enforcing time-
restricted parking regulations on Saturdays on Arthur
Ashe Boulevard from Broad Street to Moore Street,
Belvidere to I-95, and from Leigh Street to Franklin
Street. There will be a two-week grace period where
violators will receive a warning as a reminder of the
new parking regulations.
In an effort to support small businesses, the city will begin enforcing time-restricted
parking on Saturdays. In many areas around our bustling city, there are many
people competing for the same parking spaces. Time limits are used to increase
turnover, allowing more cars to park in the same number of spaces over the
course of the day.
Creating parking turnover will reduce the amount of time long-term parkers
occupy on-street spaces intended to support local businesses and educational
institutions.
