Salem Revised Code Chapter 102 prohibits vehicles from remaining parked on the same public street block for more than 24 consecutive hours. Overnight parking is not banned city-wide, but continuous over-limit parking draws citations.
SRC § 102.105 (Unlawful Use of Parking) prohibits parking a vehicle on any public street or highway for more than 24 consecutive hours without moving it. The 24-hour limit applies city-wide on all public rights-of-way. Residential neighborhoods may also establish Residential Parking Permit (RPP) zones under SRC § 102.115, which restrict non-permit vehicles to two-hour limits in designated areas during posted hours, effectively preventing long-duration overnight parking by non-residents. Salem Parking Services and police enforce both provisions. No dedicated citywide overnight ban (e.g., 2–6 AM prohibition) exists; the 24-hour continuous-parking rule is the operative limit.
Parking citations issued by Salem Parking Services; base fines for overtime/continuous parking are typically $35–$55; vehicles may be towed at owner's expense after repeated violations or as a road hazard.
