In Philly, it’s illegal to save your parking spot on the street, even if you labored forever to clear that jawn.
But let’s be real….wouldn’t YOU feel some type of way if you worked an hour to dig your car out, went to the store, came back 20 minutes later, and somebody was in that spot you just dug out (nevermind that there may be no other spots along that street)?

Philadelphia PD #NOSAVSIES Campaign Brings Light To Resident Issue
SOUTH PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia Residents have a very unique way of sharing parking spaces in the winter. Some drivers place cones, and sometimes they even use trash cans, but one photo posted online takes the cake!
A few drivers in South Philly are using recliners to maintain their parking space.
The photo brings light to an issue that drivers now face before using anything to reserve their personal parking space.
The Philadelphia Police Department has started a #NOSAVIES campaign on its official twitter account.
"When you dig out your car today, leave the spot clear. Just say No to Lawn Chair, Orange Cone, and Trash Can. #NoSavesies" – tweeted the Philadelphia Police Department.
Reserving a parking spot on a city street is illegal without a parking permit.
Police will confiscate any item used to reserve a parking space on a city street. Residents can call also 911 to report neighbors who are using items to reserve the spaces.
