Those who visit residents of the Quantico Town could soon need a yellow hangtag.
The Town Council is considering new rules that would require residents to obtain a yellow hangtag to place inside of guests’ cars. The hangtags would be obtained from the town’s municipal office on 5th Avenue.
The parking pass will be good for three consecutive days. After three days, residents would need to obtain a new pass.
“We weren’t trying to make any hard and fast rules when it came to parking, but because of parking problems that have increased, we started to get complaints from people about drivers who didn’t have a parking pass,” said Quantico Town Chief of Police John Clair.
Up until now, town residents placed Post-It notes, or other small pieces of paper in cars parked on streets identifying the driver. A phone number was usually listed on the Post-It in the event a neighbor needed the car moved.
Edward Kelly says parking on his street is first come, first served. If the new yellow hangtag is approved, he fears incidents of neighbors or police knocking on his doors asking to move cars might increase.
“We should have this,” said Quantico Town Councilwoman Earlene Clinton.
Chief Clair was clear that if the new guest parking permit is mandated, there will be no flexibility for those who get a ticket for not possessing a pass.
“If this is approved, it will go into the town code, and the only way to resolve disputes will be go to court,” said Clair. “I wanted to make sure the Council understood that.”
