Parking
Parking meters in Ann Arbor are abundant and generally require money from 8am to 6pm, but check the meter, because the hours vary. Parking in a restricted and posted area can mean heavy fines and towing charges.
Bring plenty of change - some garages are manned for parking fee collection; some are equipped with a computerized system that accepts currency or change; some have meters only.
