From the coastal towns such as Nabeul or Hammamet, take the N1 road north towards Tunis. Once you reach the outskirts of Tunis, follow the signs for Carthage. To get to Sidi Bou Said specifically, continue along the N9 road. When you get near the Carthage area, follow Rue Hedi Zarrouk which will take you directly to Sidi Bou Said. Parking can be found at various spots around the area, but be prepared to pay for parking, which can vary from 1 to 5 TND depending on the location.
