I was told, when I first got my sticker, many years ago, that the vehicle parked longer than the 2 hours, must be registered to the address "IT IS PARKED IN FRONT OF".
It would be great if the Parking Authority ENFORCED the permit parking west of 40th Street. Each year we pay for our stickers,

Also in '96 in Upper Darby, people were killed over parking spots.
Now that's "rage"!

Parking permits do NOT buy you a spot in front of your house.
They buy you the convenience of being able to park, with resident
