1. What is the purpose of parking time limits?

The purpose of the time limit is to ensure that parking spaces regularly become available for customers of businesses and visitors to the area. When the time limit posted on the meter has been reached, vehicles must leave that parking space. It is illegal to deposit additional coins in the meter after the time limit has been reached. Meters located in 90 minute and 2-hour-limit locations are intended for short-term parking. You may return and deposit additional coins to increase your stay at any No-Time-Limit location.

2. What should I do if I encounter a problem with a meter?

Report the broken meter by calling 603-589-3331 and leaving a detailed message, including meter number, date and time, and meter issue. If that is not possible, leave a note on your windshield and email parking@nashuanh.gov to notify the Parking Department as soon as possible. 

3. Are there any reserved parking spaces available?

You may inquire as to the availability of reserved parking spaces at any of the City of Nashua’s municipal lots or parking garages by contacting the transportation/parking department by phone at 603-589-3205, or by email.
