Official holidays such as Christmas Day (December 25) remain FREE all day. A two-hour parking limit will remain in effect, however. Exceptions to this temporary parking policy involve streets designated as "tow-away zones," where no stopping is allowed at those meters at the times posted. All applicable traffic regulations, other than those requiring payment at parking meters, will be enforced, including time-limited parking (two-hour or one-hour parking as designated by signage) or overtime parking, bus stops, fire hydrants, double-parking and parking too close to pedestrian crosswalks, etc. COMMUNITY AND MEDIA INQUIRIES:  John Rago Deputy Chief of Staff Office of the Mayor Mobile: (302) 420-7928 Email: [email protected]  This press release was produced by the City of Wilmington.
