Washington Street Restrictions and Busy Newark Visits
Washington Street prohibits parking from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (npl.org). Those restrictions cover the morning and late-afternoon commuting windows, making a metered Washington Street space unsuitable during either period.
Metered parking operates Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (npl.org). Library visitors arriving during those hours need to allow for payment and the posted time limit, while evening visitors should avoid treating the rush-hour restriction as a general evening parking allowance.
