Parking Meters In Myrtle Beach?

Like most communities, Myrtle Beach has parking meters in areas where parking is in high demand. Meters help manage the public spaces so that more people can park, and they help create parking turnover to keep spaces from being monopolized for long periods. Parking meters also make it easy to see which spaces are public. Myrtle Beach’s parking management area is east of Kings Highway, from 31st Avenue North to 29th Avenue South and from 69th Avenue North to 77th Avenue North. The 52nd and 53rd Avenue North street ends also have parking meters. The meters are in effect from March 1 through October 31 and are enforced from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., seven days a week. (A few spaces on 14th Avenue North, from Withers Drive to Ocean Boulevard, and on Withers Drive, between 12th and 15th Avenues North and 20th and 22nd Avenues North, are enforced from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.) Please check the meter or pay-station for more information.

In South Carolina, any vehicle displaying a valid handicapped, Purple Heart, Disabled American Veterans or Medal of Honor license tag, or a valid and official handicapped hang tag, may park for free at any public-operated parking meter. If your vehicle displays one of these, then you do not have to pay a municipal parking meter anywhere in South Carolina.

Meter Locations and Hours of Enforcement

Most meters offer all-day parking, but high traffic areas, such as near the amusement parks, allow short-term parking. A green 24-hour sticker on the street side of the meter indicates that it’s available for all-day parking. Red stickers, as shown, indicate short-term parking up to three hours maximum. Hourly rates range from $1.00 to $1.50, depending on location and demand.

All-day meters also state clearly that you can rent that meter for the whole day for just $6.00. That rate compares very favorably with what private parking concessions charge. Again, meters with the green 24-hour stickers offer the all-day option for just $6.00.

Other Meter Payment Methods

All parking meters take U.S. coins (some also take credit and debit cards), while pay-stations accept coins, U.S. bills up to $10, credit cards and debit cards. At a pay-station, pay the machine for the amount of time you intend to stay, and then display the printed receipt on your car’s dash. Special provisions exist for motorcycles, with specific instructions on the LED screen. Please note that no more than two motorcycles may be parked at one time in any public parking space. Don’t have enough change? Just call the office at 626-PARK (626-7275), and we’ll send an ambassador over with the amount requested. If your business needs change, our parking ambassadors will gladly deliver it. Businesses can even get rolls of quarters. Call 626-PARK with any parking question.

Meter Citation Payments

Yes, we do enforce the parking meters during the dates and hours stated. Citations for unpaid parking begin at $20. If unpaid after 30 days, the fine increases $10, to $30. If unpaid after 45 days, the fine increases $15, to $45. Payments mailed must be postmarked by the 30th (or 45th) day. Parking citations also may be paid on-line with Visa or MasterCard or by calling 843-626-PARK (7275).

My Refrigerator feels warm?

Many refrigerators are left open during cleaning. It can take 12-24 hours before your food will cool and the refrigerator returns to optimal temperature. If you fill it with warm groceries and continually open the refrigerator door, it will take can take longer to cool. The refrigerator temperature should be set to a medium temperature. If you turn the refrigerator temperature to a high setting, the humidity will cause the coils to freeze up, which prevents cool air from reaching the refrigerator compartment. If this should happen, please set the refrigerator to a medium setting and allow time for it to defrost and stabilize.
