SF State students, who drive to school, have two choices for parking. Many choose to park outside in order to avoid $5 parking charge for the parking garage on campus.

There are plenty of spaces around the campus, but numbers for the unlimited-hour parking are limited. Many students go back and forth to their cars during their break to relocate their cars to avoid being ticketed for overtime parking. Junipero Serra Boulevard, 19th Avenue and Lake Merced Boulevard are some of the streets with the most desired parking because of the non-restricted parking hours. The Golden Gate [X]press Online found that these streets started to fill from as early as 6 a.m. with little to no parking 8 a.m.

The following map shows students’ favorite parking choices, including hour restrictions and number of available space for parking.
