Summary
Sedona makes it a civil traffic violation to stop, stand or park across lines or markings painted on a city curb, street or parking space, or to park without fitting entirely inside the marked space, under SCC 10.20.040(F). The rule sits alongside seven other flatly banned parking spots in the same section, from fire hydrants to crosswalks.
It is a civil traffic violation for any person to stop, stand or park a vehicle, whether in usable condition or not, or for an owner to permit the owner’s vehicle to stop, stand or park in any of the following places: ... ... F. Across lines or markings painted upon a city curb, street, or parking space or to park a vehicle in such a position that it shall not be entirely within the space designated by such lines or markings.
Official source re-checked September 8, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: current through Initiative Ordinance 2026-01, approved by voters at the July 21, 2026 election).
Full Breakdown
040 opens by declaring it a civil traffic violation for anyone to stop, stand or park a vehicle, whether it is in usable condition or not, in any of eight listed places, and subsection (F) is the painted-curb rule: parking "across lines or markings painted upon a city curb, street, or parking space" is banned, and so is parking a vehicle so that it does not sit entirely within the space those lines or markings define. That means both straddling a painted line between two spaces and parking crooked enough to spill outside a single marked stall trigger the same violation.
m. 080: it is a civil traffic violation, the notice of violation can be affixed directly to the vehicle rather than served in person, the registered owner is held liable jointly with the driver, and the penalty is a civil sanction capped by whatever parking fine schedule the city council has set, with a continuing violation counted as a separate offense for each full hour.
Violations & Fines
Parking across painted curb, street or space markings, or so a vehicle does not sit entirely within a marked space, violates SCC 10.20.040(F). It is enforced the same as the section's other seven prohibited-parking clauses: a civil traffic violation under SCC 10.20.080(D)(1), subject to a civil penalty set by the council's parking fine schedule, with continuing violations counted separately for each full hour.
