Default Where can I park my EA?

A bit of an odd question, but being new to the country and not wanting my Falcon to disapear on me! Is it legal to park my car in a 'loading' or a 'commercial vehicle' zone outside of its posted hours?

for example parking in town there are yellow boxed out areas for 'commercial vehicles 20 minutes max 7am-7pm' is that just weekdays? will it be fine parked there overnight? or for just a few hours in the evening?

cheers!

Anything outside of the posted hours and days is fine.

just make sure they area does not become a clear way after the posted times.

otherwise yes it is legal to park there.

It will also depend what area.
Some of the areas around the city the signs don't actually state 7days etc, but apparently the signs cover the 7days.

Found out the hard way, had to pay a lovely parking fine last year... ooopss!!

Tough break, being new to the country and all: Didn't you know that EAs are illegal?

<as the others have said, you'll be fine outside posted hours/days>
