Gaithersburg restricts overnight parking on certain streets through posted signage and the Residential Permit Parking program. Some streets prohibit parking during overnight hours. Vehicles must display a valid RPP permit where required.
Overnight parking in Gaithersburg is regulated by street-specific restrictions posted on signage and enforced under Chapter 14 of the city code. On streets with Residential Permit Parking designations, vehicles without valid permits may be cited overnight. Some streets prohibit parking entirely during overnight hours, typically between 2 AM and 6 AM, to facilitate street sweeping or for safety reasons. The 2025 RPP program update established new permit categories and visitor provisions. In residential neighborhoods without posted restrictions, overnight street parking is generally permitted for registered, operable vehicles. Apartment and condominium complexes may have their own overnight parking rules enforced by property management. Vehicles parked overnight must not block sidewalks, fire hydrants, or driveways.
Overnight parking violation on restricted street: parking citation. Parking without RPP permit where required: citation. Blocking fire hydrant or sidewalk: citation and possible towing.
