The “Brain Trust” in charge of the Cozumel parking laws and enforcement have changed their minds again. Forget all the other rigmarole that they said before about parking rules on Avenida Melgar (the Malecon); now they have come up with a new set of laws.
1. NO PARKING (except for taxis, in their designated sitios) on the ocean side of the avenue before 5PM. They forgot to say at what time in the morning this parking prohibition starts. I am sure they will issue a new ruling sometime after the confusion begins.
2. NO CAR PARKING in the laybys (bahías) or spaces next to WHITE curbs (i.e.; all them) that are cut into the sidewalk on the right in ANY of the following calles: 7, 5, 3, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10. This new rule applies to ALL the laybys on Av. 5 as well. All these laybys are now reserved for MOTORCYCLES ONLY. Looks like they forgot to list Salas, but again, they will probably change all of this anyway. Plus, it looks like they forgot to make any provision for freight deliveries or pick-ups/drop-offs along these streets, so I guess there will be a lot of beer, water, and snack delivery trucks blocking the roads in the future.
3. The curbs marked in YELLOW on the Malecon are for PICK-UP AND DROP-OFF ONLY. No parking anytime, neither cars nor motos.
4. The YELLOW curbs adjacent to each corner on the Malecon (not to be confused with all the other yellow curbs on the Malecon) are NO PARKING ANYTIME. I guess they couldn’t find any red paint.
5. The curbs painted WHITE on the Malecon (not to be confused with the white curbs in the laybys, which are “no car parking, motos only”) are for CAR PARKING ONLY. NO MOTOS ALLOWED.
6. Curbs painted BLUE on the Malecon are permit-only handicapped parking. Only DIF gives out the permits.
Good luck!
