Cars are to be parked on the south and east sides of streets between the hours of 8 a.m. and midnight and on the north and west sides of streets between midnight and 8 a.m. This is to permit snow plows and emergency vehicles access to all neighborhoods, as well as to keep rush-hour traffic to a minimum. 

Active security barriers (also known as crash barriers) are large structures that are placed in roadways at entrance and exit points to protected facilities to control vehicle access to these areas. These barriers are placed perpendicular to traffic to block the roadway, so that the only way that traffic can pass the barrier is for the barrier to be moved out of the roadway. These types of barriers are typically constructed from sturdy materials, such as concrete or steel, such that vehicles cannot penetrate them. They are also designed at a certain height off the roadway so that vehicles cannot go over them.
