Pennsylvania authorizes juvenile curfews under 53 Pa.C.S. 3703 for second-class cities and similar statutes elsewhere. Pittsburgh Code Chapter 625 sets curfew for minors under 18 at 10 PM Sunday-Thursday and 11 PM Friday-Saturday. Most suburbs set 10 PM or 11 PM.
Pittsburgh Code 625.01-625.04 prohibits persons under 18 in public places during curfew hours. Exceptions: accompanied by parent, traveling to or from work, emergency, First Amendment activity, interstate travel. Parents may also be cited for permitting violation. Suburbs follow similar patterns under Borough Code 8 Pa.C.S. or Second Class Township Code 53 P.S. 66506. Enforcement is discretionary; typically a warning or parental pickup for first offense.
Pittsburgh: minors cited into juvenile court; parents fined 300 dollars and up to 90 days for repeat violations. Most suburbs: first offense warning, second 100 dollars parental fine.
