Las Cruces prohibits stopping, standing, or parking in front of any public or private driveway or on a sidewalk under Sec. 27-12-6-6.1. Off-street RV and vehicle parking follows the Land Development Code.
Sec. 27-12-6-6.1(A)(2) makes it unlawful to stop, stand, or park a vehicle in front of a public or private driveway, and subsection (1) bars parking on a sidewalk. This applies whether the driveway is yours or a neighbor's, so a vehicle blocking access can be cited and towed. The same section keeps vehicles clear of intersections, crosswalks, and fire hydrants. On private property, where and how RVs and vehicles may be parked or stored is set by the Land Development Code (Secs. 38-57 and 38-58), which addresses off-street parking surfaces and recreational-vehicle storage in residential districts.
Municipal traffic offense under Sec. 27-12-6-6.1; blocking a driveway or sidewalk can result in a citation and towing at the owner's expense.
