Summary

Perris prohibits overnight street parking between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. every day, but only in blocks where the city has posted signs giving notice, since the city council designates the restricted blocks by order in its minutes rather than applying the ban citywide. Where posted, the rule applies to any vehicle regardless of how long it has been parked.

There shall be no parking on any street in the city between the hours of 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. on any day in any block where signs are posted giving notice of this prohibition. The city council shall by order in its minutes designate the streets and blocks where such signs shall be posted.

Full Breakdown

Section 10.24.100 creates a block-by-block overnight parking ban rather than a citywide curfew: there is no parking on any street in the city between the hours of 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. on any day, but only in a block where signs are posted giving notice of the prohibition, and the city council designates which streets and blocks get those signs by order in its minutes. Because the restriction is sign-dependent, a driver isn't in violation on a street that hasn't been posted, and the signage itself is governed by § 10.24.090, which requires the notice signs to be erected and maintained not more than 150 feet apart in each block subject to the ban.

Perris pairs the overnight window with a separate durational limit: § 10.24.150 bars parking any vehicle on a street or alley for more than 72 consecutive hours anywhere in the city, sign or no sign, and authorizes a police officer to remove a vehicle left standing beyond that window under California Vehicle Code § 22651. Together the two rules mean a car can be lawfully parked overnight on an unposted street indefinitely up to 72 hours, but must move during the 3:00 to 5:00 a.m. window on any block the council has specifically posted. Enforcement of both runs through Chapter 10.08, with unlisted title 10 violations treated as infractions under § 1.16.010.

Violations & Fines

Parking in violation of a posted 3:00 to 5:00 a.m. zone, or leaving a vehicle beyond 72 consecutive hours under § 10.24.150, is an infraction under § 10.08.010. An officer may cite the vehicle and, for the 72-hour violation, remove it to storage under California Vehicle Code § 22651, with towing and storage costs charged to the registered owner before release.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 3 a.m. parking ban apply on my street?
Only if the city council has designated your block for the restriction and posted signs there under § 10.24.090. Section 10.24.100 doesn't ban overnight parking citywide, only on specific blocks the council has ordered signed, so check for posted notices rather than assuming the rule applies everywhere.
How far apart are the no-parking signs supposed to be?
Section 10.24.090 requires signs giving notice of the 3:00 to 5:00 a.m. restriction to be erected and maintained no more than 150 feet apart within each restricted block, so drivers have reasonable notice before parking on any street subject to the ban.
Is there also a limit on how long a car can sit on the street?
Yes, separately. Section 10.24.150 bars parking any vehicle on a street or alley for more than 72 consecutive hours anywhere in the city, whether or not the block is posted for the overnight ban, and police can tow a vehicle left beyond that limit.
What happens if I'm parked in a posted overnight zone at 4 a.m.?
You can be cited for an infraction under § 10.08.010, and if you've also exceeded the separate 72-hour limit the vehicle can be towed under § 10.24.150 and California Vehicle Code § 22651, with the owner responsible for towing and storage fees before release.
