Where not to park in Cambridge
- mindslight 12y agoCOMMENTING BY PERMIT ONLY (EXCEPT SUNDAYS)
- untilHellbanned 12y agoHow does 72,000 tickets in 3 months compare with other cities? Cambridge resident here. Cambridge seems incredibly ticket happy, right?
- objclxt 12y agoWell, over the river in Brookline they're issuing around 32,000 tickets every quarter[1], but have around half the population. Once you account for that it's still a little less than Cambridge, but then you would also expect Cambridge to issue more tickets - being a tourist destination there is more parking pressure, and more people unfamiliar with the area.

- noname123 12y agoIf need to be in the MIT/Central Square/Cambridgeport area, You can park near the border in Somerville between Cambridge and Somerville past Inman Square and walk about 15 minutes to MIT or Central Square. If need to be in Harvard Square, you can park near the Harvard stadium in Allston and walk 10 minutes to Harvard Square. Do you guys have any other parking secrets to share in the Boston area?
- sbrother 12y agoIf you need to be in Harvard, you can do the same thing on the Somerville border off Kirkland/Washington St - I used to live in Somerville and do that whenever it was too icy/snowy to safely bike. Also, I believe you can safely ignore HUPD parking tickets until you get ~20 of them, or if you want to register your car with Harvard for some reason.
