Davis allows overnight street parking generally, but many downtown streets ban parking 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. for street sweeping, and preferential parking districts require a permit overnight. The 120-hour storage limit still applies citywide.
Davis has no citywide overnight parking ban. On most residential streets, overnight parking is allowed subject to the 120-hour maximum in one spot under DMC 22.08.050. However, parking is prohibited from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. on many downtown streets to accommodate street sweeping, as posted on signs. In addition, preferential parking districts established under Article 22.12 require a valid permit to park on affected residential streets, which restricts overnight parking by non-residents. A virtual permit tied to a license plate costs $16.00 per permit year. Always check posted signage, because time-of-day and permit rules vary block to block.
Parking on a posted downtown street during the 2 a.m.-6 a.m. sweep window, or parking without a permit in a preferential parking district, results in a citation.
