The reason why Waterloo has an exemption scheme is because they're trying to deal with two conflicting issues:
1. Deliver the message that streets aren't parking lots.
2. Recognize that residents occasionally have overnight guests who need to park their cars temporarily.
It's not an ideal solution, especially in winter, but it's better than other solutions like (1) a blanket ban on all street parking or (2) no restrictions whatsoever.
