Such parking permit does not guarantee a parking space, does not authorize parking for more than 72 consecutive hours in any one location and does not exempt the permit holder from observing zones where parking is prohibited at all or specified times for safety reasons or for reasons other than those related to the parking permit, including but not limited to permanent or temporary no parking zones, loading zones, fire zones, and disabled parking areas.
