Las Cruces allows overnight parking on residential streets. The only all-night ban, Sec. 27-12-6-6.5, applies to nonresidential areas, barring parking longer than 30 minutes between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.
There is no general overnight parking ban on residential streets in Las Cruces. The all-night restriction in Sec. 27-12-6-6.5 applies only to nonresidential areas, where no vehicle may park longer than 30 minutes between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., except physicians on emergency calls. Passenger vehicles can therefore sit overnight in front of a home, subject to the general no-parking places in Sec. 27-12-6-6.1. Recreational vehicles are the exception: overnight RV parking on residential streets requires a permit and is capped at 6 consecutive days under Sec. 27-12-6-17. Inoperable or abandoned vehicles left over 72 hours become a nuisance under Chapter 18.
Overnight parking in a nonresidential area between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. beyond 30 minutes is a citable traffic offense under Sec. 27-12-6-6.5.
