Parking fee standards: 1. Metered parking supports credit card or coin (generally only accepts 25 cent coins) payment, at around $2 per hour. Meters usually have a time limit (such as 2 hours), and exceeding the time limit or failing to renew the payment may result in a fine. 2. Fee-based parking lots usually charge based on the duration of parking, with rates for 15 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes; some hotel parking lots usually charge per day. The daily cost for parking is usually USD 25-50. 3. It is recommended to check parking fees at the following website: http://www.bestparking.com/ Parking precautions: 1. Street parking: Yellow lines are for temporary parking only; white and green lines allow parking, usually with a specified time limit; red lines prohibit parking. 2. Parking spaces with disabled signs are usually located in the most convenient and visible locations, but are only for use by disabled individuals; parking in these spaces without authorization may result in a fine of over USD 400. 3. Before parking, pay attention to signs indicating no parking or limited time parking; parking violations may result in fines or towing. 4. Unless otherwise specified, try to park straight into the garage and avoid backing in, as this may result in a fine. If unsure, simply follow the direction of the surrounding parked cars. 5. When parking on a slope, park with the front of the car facing downhill, with the front wheels angled towards the curb; conversely, if facing uphill, angle the rear of the vehicle towards the curb. 6. In unattended parking lots, place the payment receipt on the windshield for easy inspection by staff. 7. Parking lot prices can vary greatly within the same area, so it's advisable to compare prices in several blocks. 8. Staying at a hotel does not necessarily guarantee free parking, so it's important to understand the hotel's parking fees before making a reservation. 9. After parking, important belongings should be carried with you, and luggage should not be left in the car to avoid attracting thieves.
