Sunday parking meters go into effect citywide today.
They're active from noon to six, and the rates will be the same as usual ($2 per hour). The only difference is you'll have a four-hour time limit instead of two hours. Quoth the SFMTA:

Parking has traditionally been free on Sundays since parking meters were first installed in the 1940s. At that time, most businesses were closed on Sundays, so there was no need to use parking meters to create parking availability. Now, parking demand is the same on Sundays as on Saturdays, so San Francisco is finally updating its parking management to help businesses and motorists.They also claim "reduced frustration for all motorists", but we're pretty sure they mean "all shoppers". Anyway, this probably doesn't effect you guys too much, since I can't imagine you park in metered spots too often, but we still thought you'd like to know.
