Amarillo restricts street parking in certain zones and limits how long vehicles may remain parked. Designated parking areas and time-limited zones are posted by traffic schedule. Overnight parking of large vehicles is restricted in residential areas.
Chapter 16-3 of the Amarillo Code of Ordinances (Traffic) governs parking regulations. Division 3 — Parking, Section 16-3-369, establishes restrictions on parking in specific locations. Section 16-3-367 addresses parking limitations by area and time. Article V covers standing and stopping restrictions. Vehicles parked in violation of posted time limits or restricted zones may be cited or towed. Parking enforcement is handled by the Amarillo Municipal Court and the Parking Division. Long-term parking (exceeding 72 hours) in one location on a public street is generally prohibited under local traffic schedules.
Fines for parking violations typically range from $25 to $200 per citation depending on the violation. Vehicles may be towed at owner expense.
