Living in different corners of the world has taught me that parking dramas can turn a peaceful night into a frantic scramble. I recall a time in Barcelona when I circled for hours, only to wake up to a hefty fine. Now, settled in Markham for a bit, I\it\some side streets off Carlton Road have less enforcement, especially if you park near residential driveways with permission from homeowners. I learned that trick chatting with a local coffee shop owner who shared how he avoids fines during festivals. Public lots like the one at Centennial Community Centre are also forgiving; they\it\I\ve found that community hubs like libraries or churches often have overlooked areas, but tread carefully—parking there without cause can still draw eyes. In the end, it\s about balancing convenience with respect for the rules, turning a potential fine into a peaceful night\s rest.
