Lima has no citywide overnight street-parking ban. Overnight parking is generally allowed where not otherwise posted, but downtown time-limited zones, snow routes and posted no-parking areas still apply under Chapter 452.
Lima's Codified Ordinances do not impose a blanket overnight or 2-6 a.m. street-parking prohibition citywide. Instead, restrictions come from posted signs, time-limited and metered downtown zones (Chapters 452 and 454), and the prohibited locations in Section 452.03. During declared snow emergencies, on-street parking may be restricted on designated routes to allow plowing. Residents should check for posted signs on their block; where no sign restricts it, overnight parking is generally permitted. Recreational-vehicle and commercial-vehicle residential storage is separately capped by Section 1806.14.
Vehicles left in violation of posted time limits, snow routes or Section 452.03 may be ticketed and, for repeat offenders, booted or towed under Chapter 404.
