Overview 

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

Here 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 

Note: On new restrictions, you need to hit save once to see the time slots section. This is not reflected in the article.

4. Choose to apply to Zones or Spaces.
   • Zones. Select one or multiple zones and drag over using the right arrow from the Available zones to Active zones in order to apply this restriction to a certain zone(s). Note: do NOT apply to both zone and spaces, or it will not work. You must select only one. If you’d like to apply to a full zone, drag the zone over. If you’d like to apply to a few spaces, select the zone in the drop-down within the Spaces section and pull over the spaces.
   • Spaces. Select one or multiple spaces and drag over using the right arrow from the Available spaces to Active spaces in order to apply this restriction to certain space(s). Note: do NOT apply to both zone and spaces, or it will not work. You must select only one. If you’d like to apply to a full zone, drag the zone over. If you’d like to apply to a few spaces, select the zone in the drop-down within the Spaces section and pull over the spaces.
