NOTE: Priority Parking Rules Changed July 1, 2011: The yellow Clean Air Vehicle decals are no longer valid in Santa Monica for priority parking as of July 1, 2011. The WHITE clean air decals are valid through January 1, 2015. White decals allow you to park in any metered parking space in Santa Monica without charge for the maximum amount of time allowed by that meter. In other words, if you’re at a 2-hour meter, you can park there free for 2 hours—but beyond that, you’re subject to ticketing for overstaying your welcome. Clean Air Vehicle decals are issued by the state. |
