PARKING & TRAFFIC

PARKING INFORMATION

There are a number of public garages and lots on Granville, Lower Water Street, and Spring Garden Road, typically charging about $1.50 per hour. Some of the downtown hotels, including the Delta offer guest parking.

The Halifax Regional Municipality has recently introduced color-coded Parking Meters to enhance access to short term parking. The meters take all coins above a nickel (5 cents), and charge 25 cents per 15 minutes (quarter hour). The colored caps signify the maximum allowable time for that meter, so you should only deposit coins up to the maximum time for that meter. For example, if you inserted $2.00 into a maximum 1 hour meter, you will only receive 1 hour of paid parking.

Public Parking Meters are in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday - excluding holidays.
