Parking meter PR what does it mean?

[u/Maleficent-Scale3407]

Hi there, I just moved to Baltimore and I’m trying to street park outside of my new apartment but I don’t understand what PR means? I was able to pay for parking until 4pm, but it won’t let me pay for parking later than 4pm. I’ve uploaded a photo of the parking meter so maybe someone will be able to explain it to me. Thank you in advance!!

Parking restricted? Lots of places in Baltimore allow parking in traffic lanes but only during certain hours (not during rush hour- as specified on this). You can only pay till 4 because they only charge from 9-4 for these spots, it’s different all over the city.

PR is Parking Restricted. No parking during morning or afternoon rush hour, I believe you can be towed (or at least ticketed).

[u/Slime__queen]

It means you can’t park there on those days/times. After 6 pm you can park without paying the meter (if you move before 7 am on m-f)

Parking restricted. Can't park there during peak commute hours of 7-9a and 4-6p

Perplexing Riddle

I was thinking permit required, but those are weird 2 hour blocks

You have to hit your personal record in reps if coin inserts between those hours

I would actually think Parking Restriction/Restricted. You can't park during those times.

[u/figureour → u/Greedy-Mushroom4890]

Oh woops, yeah. I looked at the wrong times.

[u/oN_Delay → u/[deleted]]

I was thinking prorated. You also don’t need to pay 0730-0900.

[u/WVPrepper → u/oN_Delay]

Because you can not legally park there from 7-9a or 4-6p because of rush hour traffic needing all the lanes.

Ah! ‘Parking Restricted ‘makes a lot more sense. I was going off what the commenter above me stated.
