Dibs & Space Saving: Corona vs Temecula

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.

Temecula has no ordinance addressing parking 'dibs' or space-saving with cones, chairs, or other objects. Public streets are first-come, first-served, and placing objects in the public right-of-way to reserve a parking space is not permitted. The practice is rare in Temecula due to Southern California's mild climate and absence of snow.
