Parking Restrictions Sweep Boston During College Move-In Week

BOSTON, MA — College students are arriving in Boston this week during a time of unprecedented transportation stress.

With the Orange Line and part of the Green Line out of commission, streets are more clogged than usual. (Storrow Drive, as of this writing, was so far free of over-height trucks, however.) And as usual, Boston is enforcing a host of parking restrictions during move-in week. Here's what to watch out for across the city:
