No vehicle shall park, stop, stand, or wait in any area where parking is not clearly permitted. Vehicles must be parked properly in a marked parking stall or along a legal white/unmarked curbside area, unless otherwise authorized.

A vehicle may not park, stop, stand, or wait in any of the following areas:

  • In front of, blocking, or obstructing a fire hydrant, driveway, sidewalk, intersection, crosswalk, bus stop, bike lane, or bike rack.
  • Against, beside, or along a red curb, except for temporary stopping without parking.
  • In any zone marked by a regulatory sign or road marking stating No Parking, No Stopping, Keep Clear, or Do Not Block.
  • In a reserved, permit-required, private, or government area without proper authorization or permit display.
  • On a highway shoulder, breakdown lane, median, or similar emergency lane unless due to an emergency, mechanical failure, or direction from emergency services or Department of Transportation workers.
  • On railroad, tramway, or light-rail tracks, including areas near crossing arms, gates, or protective fencing, unless authorized for maintenance or an emergency situation.
  • Adjacent to a roadway while facing the opposite direction of traffic flow.

Paramedics, firefighters, EMTs, police officers, and traffic officers are exempt from this code during the performance of their official duties.

Fine: $25
Vehicle is also subject to tow at the officers discretion

Parking: The standing of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, except for the purpose of, and while actually engaged in, loading or unloading of cargo or passengers.
