Full Breakdown

Fishers doesn't use red curb paint for no-stopping zones; its curb-marking system is built around fire lanes instead. Any vehicle or property obstructing a designated fire lane is unlawful at any time, and the owner or driver can be cited by police or Fire Department personnel. The Fire Chief sets each lane's location, and pavement striping must be yellow: a stripe at least four inches wide, 12 feet from the building, with 'No Parking Fire Lane' signs posted at least every 30 feet under Indiana MUTCD standards. Lanes near hazards can also be posted as tow-away zones.

Violations & Fines

Citation by any law-enforcement officer or Fire Department personnel; vehicles or blocking property may be towed at the owner's expense (§ 72.15(A)-(B)).
