Full Breakdown
MMC § 11.08.130 makes it unlawful to stop, stand, or park a vehicle in a place marked as a fire lane approved by the city; these are the striped or curb-painted zones kept clear for emergency access at building entrances, hydrants, and fire apparatus turnarounds. The code doesn't use a formal 'red curb' color-coding chapter the way some California cities do, but the fire-lane marking serves the identical purpose: it's the operative no-stopping curb rule enforceable citywide. A separate general prohibition also bars parking within 15 feet of any fire hydrant and within any fire zone.
Violations & Fines
Parking, standing, or stopping in a marked fire lane costs a flat $175.00 fine under MMC § 11.08.250(1)(d): more than four times the standard $40 parking-violation penalty.
