The SFMTA designates various parking spaces in metered areas, non-metered areas, and off-street lots and garages for motorcycle parking.
Motorcycles may park in any legal parking spot for cars. This includes full-sized metered spaces; motorcycles must pay the meter if they occupy the space. On many blocks, short stretches of curb that, while not signed and marked for motorcycle parking, are ideal motorcycle parking locations because they are too small for a ca r or other vehicle to park legally.
