Withington Road and surrounding residential streets fill fastest between 08:00 and 09:30 (school run) and 17:00 to 18:30 (rush hour); mid-morning and mid-afternoon often easier.
Check street signs for limited-waiting restrictions — they vary by road. Some streets allow all-day free parking; others limit you to a couple of hours during the day.
