Parallel Parking
Montréal Street Parking Odds
Free · In‑App Purchases
Parallel shows where you'll actually find parking in Montréal. Odds for every street, the rules in plain words, fewer tickets, less circling.
Park like you know Montreal!
Pick a street and see your odds before you get there. Skip the circling, skip the potential tickets. You just park.
=== YOUR ODDS, ON EVERY STREET ===
-A percentage on every street: your chance of finding a spot right now
-Search any address and see your odds before you leave, plus the best time to arrive
-Paid spots on the map, each showing the chance it's free
-Slide the clock up to a day ahead and watch the whole map change
=== ASK PARALLEL ===
-Ask in plain words, in English, French or Spanish: "Where can I park near the Bell Centre tonight?"
-Get streets with their odds and the walk to your door, then tap Guide me
-Not sure about a pole? Snap it right in the chat and Parallel reads it for you
-Free includes 3 questions a day, Plus 10, Pro 25
=== CAN I PARK HERE? ===
-One tap answers for the exact spot you're standing on, each side of the street separately
-Every sign in Montréal decoded into one plain sentence, in English, French or Spanish
-Point your camera at a confusing pole and Parallel reads it for you, with an optional AI second opinion
-Street explanations: the AI reads every posted rule on both sides and tells you, in plain words, what you can do right now and until when
-AI on every plan: free includes 20 sign photo readings a week and 5 street explanations a month
-No-parking streets, permit zones, fire hydrants and bus stops drawn on the map
-How often cars get towed, broken into or hit on this block
=== STAY OUT OF TROUBLE ===
-Snow-removal ban and tow-zone alerts
-Enforcement nearby: drivers report a parking officer, and everyone around sees it for 30 minutes, anonymously
-Save where you parked, and get a nudge before the rules change under your car
-Help fix the map: when a sign you scan doesn't match the map, Parallel can send what each said, without the photo
=== PARALLEL PLUS ===
Parallel is free, with no account and no tracking. Plus is for drivers who want the whole city at a glance:
-Your odds on CarPlay, right under the turn directions
-Zoom out to a whole neighbourhood painted with your chances
-Parking forecast: how the city fills up, hour by hour, and when a concert, a game or a street fair will make it busier
-Saved places, each with its odds ready
-Map layers: sign poles, construction, EV chargers, Park & Ride, speed and red-light cameras, theft areas, lots, satellite view
-Unlimited searches (free includes 5 per week)
-More AI: 200 sign photo readings and 50 street explanations a month
Parallel Pro is for people who drive all day: everything in Plus, with live odds everywhere, up to 40 hours a month, 1,000 sign photo readings and 300 street explanations a month, and the parking ticket helper: photograph a ticket and Parallel checks it against the signs where your car was, at the time it was written. If it's worth contesting, it drafts your not-guilty plea in French, with a translation (10 tickets a month, not legal advice).

-Borough by borough, built on the city's open data as featured on the Montreal city showcase (https://donnees.montreal.ca/en/showcase/parallel)
