Policy Prioritization

The examples shown above are useful in understanding the order in which policies must be prioritized to achieve correct representation of parking regulations. To allow for potential expansion and refinement, we have categorized policies into blocks of 10 to leave some space for expansion and adjustment.

Priority Category Description
1-9 Blanket Prohibitions All blanket prohibitions of activities, including no stopping, no loading, and no parking prioritized as 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Blanket prohibitions apply to all user classes, purposes, and time_spans.
10-19 Temporary Allowances Allowances with a start and stop date.
20-29 Temporary Prohibitions Prohibitions with a start and stop date.
30-39 Time-specific General Prohibitions Prohibitions that apply to all users such as Snow Emergencies, or days and times when parking is prohibited to allow street cleaning.

Block 30-34 is used for designated periods such as Snow Emergency; block 35-39 is used for other time_spans.
40-49 User- and time-specific allowances Target one or more specific user_class or purpose and are also only in effect for specified time_spans.
50-59 User- and time-specific prohibitions Target one or more specific user_class or purpose and are also only in effect for specified time_spans.
60-69 User-specific allowances Target one or more user_class or purpose but are not limited to specific time_spans.
70-79 User-specific prohibitions Target one or more user_class or purpose but are not limited to specific time_spans.
80-89 Time-specific General Allowances In effect only for specific time_spans, but do not target a specific user_class or purpose.
90-99 Blanket Allowances Apply to all users during all time_spans. The catchall unrestricted parking allowance that allows parking for all vehicles and time_spans uses a priority value of 99.

Temporary Parking

Temporary parking regulations were not a focus for this study, so prioritization has not been fully explored.
