WASHINGTON — D.C. transportation officials say crews will start towing cars illegally parked in special ride-hailing pickup and drop-off zones near Dupont Circle starting Thursday.
The night-time curbside parking restrictions were first implemented last October as a way of decreasing congestion and safeguarding pedestrians around Dupont Circle’s bustling nightlife.
Last year, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) told º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ that the program was an effort to “avoid conflicts (and) create some curb space that allows safe drop-off and pickup zones.”
A year later, DDOT is deeming the program said the new rules were ‘well received’ and officials are pouring more resources into parking enforcement.
The pickup and drop-off only zones apply to Connecticut Avenue, from Dupont Circle south to Rhode Island Avenue and M Street.
Parking is prohibited in these areas between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. from Thursday to Saturday night.
