Summary

Moore Code of Ordinances Sec 15-610 makes it unlawful to park any vehicle on a city street for longer than 24 hours. There is no separate overnight curfew; the limit is a rolling 24-hour clock enforced by the Moore Police Department under the city's general traffic authority.

Sec 15-610 Parking More Than 24 Hours No person shall park a vehicle on any street for a period of time longer than 24 hours.

Full Breakdown

Sec 15-610, titled 'Parking More Than 24 Hours,' states flatly that no person shall park a vehicle on any street for a period of time longer than 24 hours. The city does not carve out a nighttime-only window; the rule applies around the clock, so a vehicle left in one spot from, for example, Monday morning to Tuesday morning is in violation the moment it crosses the 24-hour mark, regardless of the hour. This sits within Chapter 15-6, Article 15-6A, alongside Sec 15-601's list of places where stopping and parking are barred outright and Sec 15-611's requirement that any unattended vehicle have its engine stopped and brake set.

The city manager, under Sec 15-607 and Sec 15-612, may also post additional time-limit signs restricting parking on specific streets, and Sec 15-612 makes it unlawful to park in violation of those posted limits once signs are in place. Sec 15-1801 gives Moore Police Department officers, and officers assigned by the chief of police, the duty to enforce street traffic regulations, investigate violations and issue citations. Because Sec 15-610 carries no listed bond amount in the city's specific bond schedule, a violation falls under the general penalty in Sec 1-108: a fine of up to $500, unless a stricter state-law maximum applies, and Sec 1-109 makes each day a continuing violation persists a separate offense, so a vehicle left in place for multiple days can generate multiple citations rather than a single fine.

Violations & Fines

A vehicle parked on a public street past the 24-hour mark can be cited under Sec 15-610. Because no specific bond is listed for this section, the general penalty of up to a $500 fine under Sec 1-108 applies, and Sec 1-109 treats each additional day of the violation as a separate offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my car on a Moore street overnight?
Yes, a single overnight stay is fine. Sec 15-610 only becomes a violation once the vehicle has sat in one spot on a street for more than 24 consecutive hours.
Does Moore have a set overnight parking curfew, like 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.?
No citywide curfew exists in the code. Sec 15-610 instead uses a rolling 24-hour limit that applies at any hour, and separate posted time-limit signs under Sec 15-612 can impose shorter limits on specific streets.
What happens if my car sits on the street for several days?
Under Sec 1-109, each day the violation continues counts as a separate offense, so a vehicle left for multiple days beyond the 24-hour limit can be cited more than once, each carrying up to the $500 general penalty in Sec 1-108.
