Full Breakdown
The City's general parking prohibitions bar a long list of street uses, including leaving a vehicle in one place for more than 72 consecutive hours. Unlike most parking restrictions under HMC 8.12.030, which are only enforced 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, the 72-hour limit applies around the clock and on Sundays and holidays too. A vehicle simply parked overnight is fine as long as it moves within that 72-hour window.
Violations & Fines
A law enforcement officer can cite the vehicle, and it may be towed or immobilized for a parking violation under HMC 8.24.030 after the 72-hour window runs.
