resident parking

Locals-only car spots

Resident parking refers to parking spaces or zones reserved for people who live in a particular area, typically enforced through permits issued by local authorities.

Signs reading resident parking only restrict use to permit holders, usually to prevent commuters or visitors from occupying street parking in residential neighborhoods.

I couldn't find a spot—it's all resident parking after 6 PM.
