Cambridge Resident Parking Permit — Grace Period & Renewal Lapse

Cambridge Traffic Regulations §10.4 provide a 30-day grace period after resident permit expiry for renewal. Cambridge also requires citations to identify the specific permit area. Citations issued during grace period or where the permit area is not specified are dismissible.

Legal basis

Cambridge Traffic Regulations §10.4; Cambridge Municipal Code Title 10

Sample appeal wording

City of Cambridge — Traffic, Parking & Transportation Re: Citation #[TICKET] My resident permit #[NUMBER] expired on [DATE] and was renewed on [RENEWAL DATE], within the 30-day grace period under Cambridge Traffic Regulations §10.4. Citation must be dismissed. [OR] The citation fails to specify the permit area in which I was allegedly parked, depriving me of fair notice of the regulation allegedly violated. [NAME]

Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
