It’s almost time for Penn State football’s final night game in Beaver Stadium of the season, folks.

With an influx of visitors expected, the State College Borough announced parking restrictions from Friday through Sunday, including overnight parking limits and special event pricing.

The borough’s parking department will not lift the overnight parking exemptions or one- and two-hour limits in the Holmes-Foster, Highlands, and College Heights neighborhoods for streets with HONK Zone 4217 signs.

Drivers must have a valid R, R1, or commuter permit or pay for a parking session through the HONK mobile app to park past the posted time limits.

Overnight parking permissions will not be granted in the pilot zones. HONK payments for Zone 4217 can be made as early as 6 p.m. Friday. Overnight permissions may be available on other streets outside of the pilot program, but short-term rentals are not eligible.

Lawn parking will also be prohibited, and vehicles violating Pennsylvania Vehicle Code parking regulations may be ticketed and towed. Violations include parking on sidewalks or crosswalks, blocking driveways, parking against traffic, and parking in designated bus stops or loading zones.

On-street parking meters and lots will be enforced from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Special event pricing will be in effect at municipal parking garages from 6 p.m. Friday through 6 p.m. Sunday, except for the Beaver Avenue Garage, where pricing begins at 10 p.m. Friday.

Special event pricing will also apply from 6 p.m. Friday through 10 p.m. Saturday at the Beaver Avenue Parking Lot, McAllister Deck, and on-street meters.
