Summary
No Rialto-specific ordinance imposes a citywide overnight parking ban on passenger vehicles; California state defaults apply. Posted no-parking areas, the 72-hour rule and the round-the-clock commercial-vehicle street ban still limit where vehicles can sit overnight.
No operator of any vehicle shall stop, stand, park, or leave standing such vehicle in any of the following places ... D. In any area established by resolution of the council as a no parking area, when such area is indicated by appropriate signs or by red paint upon the curb surface.

Full Breakdown
Rialto Municipal Code Chapter 10.28 contains no general overnight or nighttime parking prohibition for passenger vehicles. Overnight street parking is instead constrained by Section 10.28.040, which lets the city council establish no-parking areas by resolution marked with signs or red curb paint; Section 10.28.050, which limits any vehicle to 72 consecutive hours on a street or alley; and Section 10.28.293, which bans heavy commercial vehicles from city streets at all hours. Posted time-limit zones of 24 minutes to two hours apply where signed. California Vehicle Code Section 22507 authorizes cities to restrict parking on particular streets during certain hours by ordinance with posted signs, but Rialto has not adopted a citywide nighttime restriction.
Violations & Fines
Where posted restrictions do exist, violations are civil penalties under RMC 10.28.295 processed per California Vehicle Code Section 40200 et seq.; vehicles exceeding the 72-hour limit may be towed.
