Dibs & Space Saving: Corona vs Menifee

Corona has no ordinance permitting residents to reserve or 'save' public parking spaces with cones, chairs, or other objects. Public streets are first-come, first-served, and placing obstructions in the public right-of-way is itself a code violation. The 'dibs' tradition does not apply in Southern California.

There is no snow-shoveling parking tradition in Riverside County, and using chairs, cones, or other objects to reserve public parking is not recognized by law. Placing obstructions in the roadway or public shoulder can be cited as a traffic hazard, illegal dumping, or obstruction under Riverside County ordinances and the California Vehicle Code.
