Full Breakdown
Manteca Municipal Code § 10.44.050 makes it unlawful for an owner or person in control of a vehicle to park it on any city street or alley for more than a consecutive seventy-two-hour period. The rule targets vehicles left standing for days at a time rather than everyday overnight parking, and it applies citywide regardless of posted signs. Manteca police enforce the limit and can cite or have a vehicle towed once the 72-hour window has run, under the same Chapter 10.44 provisions that also govern curb colors and time-limited zones.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding the 72-hour limit is an infraction under Chapter 10.44 and can lead to citation and towing of the vehicle by Manteca police.
