Driving and parking in San Francisco can be a drag especially to those who are used to wide freeways and parking lots at each corner. However, with the SF Park project, the stress of finding a space in the city just got a little lighter. The San Francisco Transit Authority started replacing old parking meters in the city with meters that accept credit cards and are equipped with sensors that can measure the demand for parking spaces. These new meters can compute the price of parking based on the availability of the spaces. The more spaces available, the lower the parking fee and vice versa.
In addition, drivers can actually check up on parking spaces online which can give them an idea of traffic and parking conditions even before they leave the house.
