Summary
Clark County requires vehicles parked at a curb to sit within 18 inches of it, and lets the county post angle-parking or no-parking signs on any roadway county-wide.
Except as otherwise provided in this section, every vehicle stopped or parked upon a roadway where there are adjacent curbs shall be so stopped or parked with the right-hand wheels of such vehicle parallel to and within eighteen inches of the right-hand curb.
(b)One-way Roadway. The board of commissioners may by ordinance permit parking of vehicles with the left-hand wheels adjacent to and within eighteen inches of the left-hand curb of a one-way roadway.(c)Angle Parking. The board of commissioners may by ordinance permit angle parking on any roadway, except that angle parking shall not be permitted on any federal aid or state highway unless the department of highways has determined that the roadway is of sufficient width to permit angle parking without interfering with the free movement of traffic.(d)No Parking. The director of public works may place signs prohibiting or restricting the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles on any highway where such stopping, standing or parking is dangerous to those using the highway or where the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles would unduly interfere with the free movement of traffic thereon. Such signs shall be official signs and no person shall stop, stand or park any vehicle in violation of the restrictions stated on such signs. (Ord. 230 § 12(D), 1965)

Clark County Code § 14.40.040 sets the curb-parking standard for unincorporated county roadways, which includes the Las Vegas Strip in the townships of Paradise and Winchester. Vehicles must stop with their right-hand wheels parallel to and within eighteen inches of the right-hand curb. The Board of Commissioners may authorize left-side curb parking on one-way streets or angle parking where a roadway is wide enough, and the Director of Public Works can post signs restricting or banning parking on any highway found dangerous or likely to interfere with traffic flow.
Violations & Fines
Chapter 14.40 parking violations are civil infractions enforced by Metro police, code enforcement or constables: $100 for a first offense, $250 for a second, and $500 for each later offense, plus possible collection fees.
