Urbana Parking
Meter Information
Meters in the campus area are color coded by length of time available on the meter. Red is 30 minutes or less, blue is 2 hours, and gray is 10 hours. Meters in the campus area have a rate of $.75/hour.
Meters are enforced Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 pm., except official city holidays. Each meter displays the hours of enforcement inside the dome of the meter. To aid in the determination of which meter belongs to a space, double-headed meters have an arrow on the meter which points toward the corresponding parking space. For single spaces the meter is placed in front of the space.
In areas where meters are located, there are never "free" unmetered parking spaces. If the space does not have a meter it is not a valid parking space, and parking in the space could result in a ticket.
Parking meters are not enforced on the following official City Holidays: News Year's Day, Martin Luther King's Birthday, Spring Day (Good Friday), Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Friday after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.
