Stack parking is a good use of space, but there are rules to help vehicles maneuver. Think of it as a giant Tetris game. All vehicles — even the first one — must display a stack parking card. Download, fill out the form, and display it. Failure to do so can result in a ticket. https://commute.lbl.gov/2019/08/15/game-of-stack-parking/
