Davis bars parking in a parkway (the planted strip) under DMC 22.08.310. Private lot owners may restrict parking under DMC 22.08.140 by posting compliant signs, allowing towing at the owner's expense under California Vehicle Code 22658.
Davis regulates driveway-area and private-property parking through Article 22.08. Section 22.08.310 prohibits stopping, standing or parking a vehicle within any parkway, the landscaped strip between the sidewalk and the street. Blocking a driveway or sidewalk is separately prohibited under the California Vehicle Code, which Davis enforces. For private off-street lots, Section 22.08.140 lets the owner prohibit or restrict parking, provided a sign at least 17 by 22 inches with one-inch lettering is posted at all entrances, stating that violators may be towed at their own expense and cited by Davis police, and referencing California Vehicle Code Section 22658. When such signs are posted, no one may park contrary to them.
Parking in a parkway, blocking a driveway or sidewalk, or parking on posted private property against restrictions can result in a citation and towing at the vehicle owner's expense.
