Full Breakdown
Gwinnett County requires an 80-foot no-parking zone at every bus stop so buses can load and unload passengers without interference. Under Section 102-83, those zones must be marked with signs, and in congested areas the curb itself must be painted yellow: a duty the code places on the companies that operate the buses using the stop, not the county. Vehicles parked in a marked zone must pull close to the curb, and the rule applies only within unincorporated Gwinnett County; the county's sixteen cities regulate their own bus stops separately.
Violations & Fines
Failing to mark or paint a required bus-stop zone, or parking in one improperly, is a code violation punishable by a $100–$1,000 fine or up to 60 days in jail.
