Summary
Anderson has no blanket ban on parking a passenger car on a residential street overnight. It does bar trucks and commercial vehicles from parking overnight (midnight to 6:00 a.m.) more than one hour on any street or alley in the business or commercial district.
It shall be unlawful for the owner, operator or driver of any truck or commercial vehicle... to park or to permit any vehicle to be parked or stand on any street or alley in the business or commercial district between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m. for a period longer than one hour.
Full Breakdown
Anderson's Traffic Code does not impose a citywide overnight parking prohibition on ordinary passenger vehicles on residential streets. The main overnight restriction is § 72.17, which makes it unlawful for a truck or commercial vehicle to park on any street or alley in the business or commercial district between midnight and 6:00 a.m. for longer than one hour, and bars them from residential-district streets for more than one hour any time of day or night. Time-limited zones (2-hour, 20-minute) apply only during posted daytime hours. Vehicles left standing on a street in violation of the code, or that are wrecked or on a police hold, are declared a public nuisance and may be impounded (§ 92.03).
Violations & Fines
Commercial-vehicle overnight violations carry the Title VII fine of $10 to $500 per offense (§ 70.99); nuisance vehicles may be towed and impounded (Ch. 92).
