Overview

The restrictions feature, when enabled, prohibits new parking sessions for the selected zone(s)/space(s).

Below are some examples of when you may want to use a restriction:

• If there is active construction in a zone, you can restrict people from starting a parking session
• If you want the zone to be free of charge for a set time, you can restrict people from paying for parking
• If it’s a holiday and you want to give free parking
