Full Breakdown
Hendersonville's traffic code lists eleven places drivers may not park no matter what signage says, and item eleven bars parking alongside any curb the municipality has painted yellow or red. The same list also covers sidewalks, driveways, intersections within 15 feet, fire hydrants within 15 feet, crosswalks, railroad crossings within 50 feet, fire station driveways, street excavations, and bridges. Police may cite violators, and parking citations carry a modest civil penalty under the enforcement chapter.
Violations & Fines
Parking beside a red- or yellow-painted curb draws a parking citation: a $3 civil penalty if resolved within ten days by waiver, rising to $5 once a warrant issues.
