Hey there Beezlegrunk! I totally get what you are asking about the restrictions on street parking in Cranston. To my understanding, there may have been some issues in the past with traffic or safety concerns that prompted the city to enforce the restrictions. Also, it's possible that some residents in the area complained about too many cars parked on the street, so the city put those regulations in place to appease them. Regardless of the reasons, it's definitely a bummer that you can't park on the street overnight. But on the bright side, at least we have a council meeting going on soon where we can maybe voice our opinions and see if any changes can be made. Hope this helps and catch ya later!
