City of Toronto motorcycle parking exemptions/ammendments

[SergeyZ]

So you abide by the rules and pay for parking at the Green P lot. Where do you put the ticket on the bike? Anybody can just walk by and grab it!!!

[tat2]

The ticket has two parts receipt & display.

Keep the receipt with you. If stolen or blown away you have a way to have the ticket cancelled.

Write "Motorcycle" or your plate number on the ticket (to discourage stealing it for a car/truck)

Place it in your windshield or seat strap or between tank & seat or tucked @ the rear plate or plate cover.

I got one of those last week on College!
Highly annoying because you are IN the parking strip and if you are across the highly exalted, great and glorious POST line, they don't give a ****. We must obey the parking POSTS of course! Without them there would be anarchy in the streets.

Ok this bylaw seems pretty clear, but I don't trust my ability to read legalese. Is this saying:

1. You can park a bike in any public parking spot in the city, and you don't have to pay?


2. You can park on the street at an angle of anywhere from 0 to 60 degrees (where 0 means paralel to the curb)?

1. Remember that Green P or any other parking authority not using the city's pay parking meters are not considered "Public parking". Technically you are leasing a spot for a specific point in time.

and

2. When parking your motorcycle the angle must be anywhere between 60 degrees and 120 degrees to the curb.

Despite the provisions of Subsections A and C, a motorcycle may be parked at an angle, provided that no person shall park a motorcycle at an angle greater than sixty (60) degrees to the curb.”

I rode my bike to work today for the first time and theres street parking 10-6 which is what my shift is. I know I don't have to pay but it says that there is a 3 hr limit. Does that apply to bikes as well?

Technically yes, however it is hardly if ever enforced.

Just remember if parking outside allowed time (before 10 and after 6 in your example there may be a ticket/tow)

Are you serious?

In reference to the city of Toronto motorcycle parking amendments that give us free street parking, yes that is exactly what I am saying.

Non green P lots are privately owned and operated, they have their own rules to abide by.

Hell! That what I got on Saturday. I don't remeber there a sign of Parking lot, but on their website it's said so.
Well, I got two white tikckets for one day... 20 bucks...
But it's nothing in compare with those hundreds dollars I spent that day for emptiness

PARKING ETIQUETTE Question:

When taking an open parking space, should one park in the centre, or 1/3rd in from either side?
