Plan Your Regina Parking Before the Final Downtown Block
Compare current street prices, named downtown lots and parkades, free parking periods, payment options and time limits before choosing a space.
Use the live road report, save one backup facility and confirm the location number beside your vehicle before paying.
Regina Parking: The Fast Decision
Weekday downtown curb parking: pay from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Zone A is $2.50 per hour and Zone B is $1.50 per hour.
Evening, weekend or holiday: on-street payment is generally free, but posted time limits, bus lanes, loading zones and other restrictions remain active.
Visit longer than four hours: use a surface lot or parkade instead of relying on repeated curb extensions.
Event or construction day: check the Regina Road Report and save a second approach route before driving.
Current Regina Street Parking Prices
The pay zone sets the hourly price. The nearby sign and PayByPhone location determine how long the vehicle may remain.
| Parking type | Current price | Best use | Check before paying |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zone A curb parking | $2.50 per hour | Short visit in the downtown core | Two-, three- or four-hour maximum |
| Zone B curb parking | $1.50 per hour | Lower-cost space near downtown’s edge | Walking route and location number |
| Zone A loading space | $1.25 per 15 minutes | Active loading or unloading | 15-minute limit and purpose |
| Zone B loading space | $0.75 per 15 minutes | Short commercial loading | Posted hours and restrictions |
| PayByPhone transaction | $0.25 service fee | App, website or phone payment | Each new transaction may add another fee |
Real saving example: a two-hour Zone B session costs $2 less than Zone A before transaction fees. Compare that saving with walking distance, weather and appointment urgency.

Street Parking or Parkade: Which Costs Less?
| Visit length | Zone A curb estimate | Zone B curb estimate | Usually practical choice |
|---|---|---|---|

| Full workday | Curb maximum may not permit the stay | Curb maximum may not permit the stay | Daily-rate lot or parkade |

Regina Street Parking Clearances Drivers Commonly Miss
Intersections
Do not park within 10 metres of an intersection unless a signed or paid stall permits it.
Painted crosswalks
The 10-metre restriction also applies near an intersection with a painted crosswalk.
Driveways
Keep at least two metres from a driveway or curb crossing.
Fire hydrants
Leave hydrants fully accessible and follow the distance stated by local signs and bylaws.
Alleys
Do not use an alley as a general parking space or obstruct vehicle access.
Unclear space
When the sign, curb or legal position is uncertain, choose another spot.
Downtown Bus Lanes and Parking Restrictions
Regina Downtown identifies morning and afternoon bus-lane enforcement periods. Always follow the posted block sign because operating times can vary.
Morning bus-lane period
The downtown directory highlights bus-lane enforcement from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
Afternoon bus-lane period
It also highlights enforcement from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Return-time check: a curb space that is legal when you arrive may become a bus lane before you return. Check the rule that will apply at the end of your visit.
Where to Park for Popular Regina Destinations
Mosaic Stadium and Regina Event Parking
Check event-day restrictions
Stadium-area permit controls and temporary restrictions can differ from ordinary downtown parking.
Park for your exit route
A longer walk may avoid the heaviest post-event vehicle queues.
Do not rely on curb hunting
Save a legal backup facility before travelling to a game, concert or festival.
Stadium permits: eligible residents in the Stadium Parking Zone use annual permits valid May 1–April 30. Visitor parking should follow event signs rather than residential curb assumptions.
Winter Parking in Regina: Practical Cold-Weather Planning
Add return time
Snow, ice, elevators and building exits can delay the walk back to a timed curb space.
Check temporary signs
Snow clearing and maintenance restrictions can override the normal parking pattern.
Use sheltered parking for long visits
A parkade can be more practical than a small curb-price saving during severe weather.
Keep access routes clear
Do not block alleys, bus areas, driveways, hydrants or snow-removal access.
Residential and Visitor Parking Permits
| Permit | Current price | What it helps with | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
