Summary
Lewisville forbids parking any vehicle so that part of it extends into a bike lane, over a sidewalk, across a parking-space line, or over a driveway. Sec. 15-132.5 also requires every vehicle parked on public property to sit fully inside a marked parking space.
(a)It shall be unlawful for any person to cause, allow, permit or suffer any motor vehicle or trailer registered in his name or owned or operated by him or in his possession or under his control to be parked on public property unless the vehicle or trailer is parked in a marked parking space.(b)It shall be unlawful for any person to cause, allow, permit or suffer any motor vehicle or trailer registered in his name or owned or operated by him or in his possession or under his control to be parked in any public parking space in a manner such that any part of the motor vehicle or trailer extends over any sidewalk, into any lane of traffic, including a bike lane, on or across a line marking a parking space, or over any driveway.

Full Breakdown
Sec. 5 of the city's traffic and vehicles chapter has two operative rules. Subsection (a) makes it unlawful to park any registered motor vehicle or trailer on public property unless it is parked in a marked parking space. Subsection (b) goes further: it is unlawful for a vehicle parked in a public parking space to have any part extend over a sidewalk, into any lane of traffic including a bike lane, on or across a line marking the boundary of the parking space, or over a driveway.
Because the rule is written around 'any part' of the vehicle, a car or trailer that merely has a bumper, mirror or trailer hitch protruding into a marked bike lane while otherwise parked in an adjacent space is captured by the prohibition, not just a vehicle parked entirely inside the bike lane. This section sits in Article IV, Parking Regulations, alongside the city's broader no-parking-zone rules in Sec. 15-126 and Sec. 5, and it applies wherever the city has marked parking spaces adjacent to a striped bike lane on public property, including on-street spaces and public lots.
Violations & Fines
A violation of Sec. 15-132.5 is enforced as a standard parking offense under the citywide general penalty, Sec. 1-15: a fine not exceeding $500.00, with each day the vehicle remains obstructing the bike lane treated as a separate offense. Police or code enforcement officers may cite the registered owner, and the vehicle can be subject to the city's standard towing and impoundment process for illegally parked vehicles.
