Street Parking Limits: Palm Springs vs Riverside

Palm Springs permits on-street parking on most residential streets unless signs or curb markings indicate otherwise. Palm Springs Municipal Code Chapter 12 establishes the 72-hour rule (no vehicle may remain stationary on a public street more than 72 hours), street-sweeping and event-based restrictions, and special permit zones in downtown and near the Convention Center and airport.

Street parking is generally allowed in Riverside where not restricted by signs, colored curb markings, or time limits. The 72-hour rule under California Vehicle Code §22651(k) applies: vehicles cannot remain parked on a public street in the same spot for more than 72 hours without moving.
