Street ParkingIn 1969, under the Burton Act and the Charter of the City and County of San Francisco, the Port Commission has responsibility for governing metered parking within the Port’s 7.5 Mile jurisdiction. The San Francisco Port governs Hours of Operation, Pricing, and No Stoppoing Sign Services for Moving, Film Projects, Special Events, Food Trucks, Construction and Other Special Events. In 2009, the Port partnered with SFMTA to improve parking management throughout the City. Together, SFMTA and the Port are implementing innovative strategies to improve the parking experience, increase parking availability, and reduce congestion.

How to Request a Permit for Temporary No Stopping Signs:
If you need a temporary “No Parking” or “No Stopping” zone, Port of SF in partnership with SFMTA provide temporary tow-away signs for use during special events and for moving vans.
Temporary Tow-Away Signage
Temporary no parking signs are required to inform the public that vehicles parked in the posted no parking spaces, reserved by the sign’s dates and times, will be towed to clear the space required for the event. These signs shall be used to reserve the necessary parking space for a special event such as commercial or residential moves, corporate events, funerals, and other similar needs. Temporary no parking signs are not intended to be used for parking of a personal vehicle. The issuance of the sign is regulated by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency
