Full Breakdown
Passenger cars may generally park on Fayetteville streets overnight where no sign prohibits it, but several limits apply. Code Sec. 72.15 bars trucks, tractors, and trailers over one-ton capacity, plus motorhomes, RVs, fifth-wheel trailers, and campers, from any city street between midnight and 6:00 a.m. The same section prohibits parking any vehicle at one street location for more than 14 consecutive days, or parking a vehicle without a valid, current license plate. A car left continuously in one spot beyond 72 hours may be towed under Sec. 72.02. The Mayor may designate signed overnight-restricted streets, and posted no-parking hours are enforced where marked. Driveways and private lots are the dependable overnight choice.
Violations & Fines
Leaving a vehicle over 14 days in one spot, without current plates, or an oversized vehicle or RV on the street overnight brings citations and towing at the owner's expense under Sec. 72.02.
