Parking in Cambridge – To encourage turnover in parking spaces, you can only park at a meter for the maximum allowable time, usually 2 hours.  If you put more money in the meter to go past the 2 hours you will get a ticket.  You must pay for parking from 8 am-8 pm, a much longer day than most places.
A web-based version of Passport Parking is also available. There is a .50 fee per transaction to use the app.
