Check your next move When current rules support a move time, Home shows it with your reminder. If rules are missing, old, or unclear, check the posted sign. You can save an address and side without a rule deadline. After checking every sign, you can set your own move time. This does not confirm that parking is allowed. An earlier known restriction takes priority. Plan a stay Open Plan a stay for a selected street side. Choose when you will leave. Check the known restrictions before that time.
