Subsection (c)(1) prohibits standing or parking within three feet of a private driveway without the consent of the owner or occupant. Subsection (b)(18) bars parking on an unpaved area of a residential lot, meaning vehicles must be kept on a paved driveway or approved surface rather than a lawn.

Incorporated municipalities may adopt stricter driveway or front-yard parking rules.
