Summary
Cheyenne repealed its blanket overnight parking ban in 2012. On-street parking is now restricted only where the city traffic engineer has posted time-limit signs.
10.52.210 - Reserved. Editor's note— Ord. No. 3957, § 2, approved September 24, 2012, repealed § 10.52.210, which pertained to stopping, standing or parking prohibited during certain hours and derived from the 2001 In-house code § 28-300.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 73).
Full Breakdown
Cheyenne City Code once banned stopping, standing or parking during certain overnight hours citywide, but Ordinance No. 3957 repealed that section (former 10.52.210) in September 2012. Today, Section 10.52.220 controls: a vehicle may sit on the street as long as an owner likes unless posted time-limit signs on that block say otherwise, and even then the limit doesn't apply Sundays or public holidays. The city traffic engineer decides block-by-block where signs go.
Violations & Fines
No ticket for overnight parking absent posted signs. Where signs exist, overstaying the posted limit draws a parking citation under the fine schedule set by the governing body per 10.60.040.
