Full Breakdown
City Code Sec. 126-158 makes it unlawful for an owner or operator to allow a vehicle to remain standing or parked on any street, alley, avenue, or public way in Pharr for more than 24 hours continuously. There's no carve-out for overnight hours specifically -- the clock runs continuously day and night, so a car left on the same block past the 24-hour mark is in violation regardless of when it was first parked.
