Parking before a pickup or drop off

When it comes to parking before a pickup or drop-off, always search for a parking spot and park even if it is paid parking. You are not required to pay - simply turn on your emergency flasher signal lights. This lets parking enforcement officers or other motorists know that you will be returning soon..

And if you don't happen to find parking, then you can park beside another parked car so long as there is more than one open lane available for other traffic to pass through. Again put on your flashers and be back within 5 to 10 minutes. If you do happen to get a parking infraction ticket, you can dispute it in traffic court.
