Many people host parties and have many cars parked in their neighborhoods this time of year. Here are a few parking etiquette reminders:
- Park at least 5 ft. from a driveway. Do not block it.
- Park at least 20 ft. from a crosswalk, marked or unmarked.
- Do not park in an area with a “No Parking” sign. These areas are zoned for your safety.
- When parallel parking, do not park facing traffic.
- Do not obstruct traffic by parking in a bicycle lane, an alley or in any lane of traffic.
- Do not park on a sidewalk or planting strip.
- Do not park a vehicle “for sale” on the street.
- Do not repair a vehicle on the street unless it is an emergency.
To report parking violations: Call the PARKING COMPLAINT HOTLINE at 619-1284. For emergencies or weekends, holidays, and after 5 PM, on weekdays, call 911. If a violation is not considered a threat to public health or safety, it will not be treated as an emergency. The fine is $20.00.
