Summary
Plymouth marks no-parking zones the City Council has established with a sign or a painted yellow curb, and City Code Section 1310.05 makes it unlawful to stop, stand or park there unless a police officer directs otherwise.
Subd. 2.No Parking Zones. It is unlawful to stop, stand or park a vehicle, except as otherwise provided or unless directed to do so by a police officer, on any street or highway where the Council has established a No Parking Zone and such zone is marked by sign or yellow curb.
Full Breakdown
05, Other Parking Restrictions, gives the City Council authority to establish No Parking Zones on any street or highway, and Subdivision 2 makes it unlawful to stop, stand or park a vehicle in such a zone once it has been marked either by a sign or by a yellow curb, except as otherwise provided in the Code or when a police officer directs otherwise. The same Section, in Subdivision 3, separately bars parking in an industrial, commercial or multiple- or single-dwelling area where an off-street parking area or truck-standing space is provided, requiring vehicles to use the designated area for parking, loading or unloading instead of the street.
Subdivision 4 extends the no-parking rule to City parks and other public property, limiting parking there to designated parking areas or wherever an official posted sign allows it. Subdivision 1 carves out a narrow exception for a vehicle disabled on the traveled portion of a street when it is genuinely impossible to avoid stopping there. Read together, the yellow-curb or signed No Parking Zone under Subdivision 2 is Plymouth's specific curb-marking tool, distinct from the off-street-parking and park-property rules that sit alongside it in the same Section.
Violations & Fines
Stopping, standing or parking in a zone marked with a sign or a painted yellow curb violates Section 1310.05, Subdivision 2, unless a police officer directs the vehicle to stop there. A vehicle parked in violation of this Section may be towed and impounded under Section 1310.11, with the owner responsible for the towing and storage costs, in addition to the petty misdemeanor penalty under Section 1300.07.
