Cincinnati CMC Chapter 506 restricts overnight on-street parking in certain zones. Some neighborhoods require residential parking permits. Heavy vehicles over 10,000 lbs are prohibited on residential streets overnight.
CMC Chapter 506 (Traffic) and the residential permit parking program regulate overnight street parking. Certain streets, especially downtown and in business districts, prohibit parking between 2 AM and 6 AM for street cleaning and safety. Neighborhoods enrolled in the Residential Permit Parking (RPP) program restrict overnight parking to permit holders only; visitors need temporary passes from residents. Vehicles over 10,000 lbs gross weight are prohibited from parking on residential streets between 10 PM and 6 AM under CMC provisions. The Cincinnati Police Department enforces overnight parking restrictions, and violations may result in citations or towing. Snow emergencies declared by the city manager trigger additional parking bans on designated snow routes.
