Parking at SMC, Santa Monica city, and Los Angeles County is at a premium. Cars parked improperly, in the wrong area, too long in the same space, or in the wrong parking permit zone will be ticketed and in some cases towed away. Tickets or tows can be very expensive, and you are urged to carefully read all posted signs.
