Summary
St. Peters, Missouri has no blanket citywide overnight parking ban. Instead, Section 365.040 of the municipal code lets the City post specific hours on specific blocks by ordinance and sign, and the current Schedule III restrictions it authorizes are all daytime windows, such as a 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. no-parking period on Berry Manor Circle, not overnight curfews.
When signs are erected in each block giving notice thereof, no person shall park a vehicle between the hours specified by ordinance of any day except Sunday and public holidays within the districts or upon any of the streets described by ordinance. ...

No parking shall be allowed between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M., except on weekends and holidays
Full Breakdown
Section 365.040, Parking Prohibited During Certain Hours On Certain Streets, does not set any hours itself. It only authorizes the City to erect signs in a given block that state hours specified by a separate ordinance, applicable every day except Sunday and public holidays, on streets the Board of Aldermen has described by ordinance. Section 365.010 makes clear these hour-based rules apply only where signs are actually posted, and Section 365.060 requires the City Traffic Engineer to erect and maintain those signs before any restriction takes effect.
The specific hours the City has adopted under this authority appear in Schedule III, Table III-C, No Parking At Certain Times, which lists individual streets rather than a citywide overnight window: Berry Manor Circle and Jessie Marie Lane bar parking from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. except weekends and holidays, Fawn Lake Drive allows only one-hour parking between 8:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M., Gold Run Drive bars parking during the 8-9 A.M. and 3-4 P.M. school rush windows, and Orchard Hills Drive bars parking from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
Every listed restriction targets daytime traffic and school-related congestion, not overnight street storage, so a vehicle parked overnight on an ordinary St. Peters street without a posted sign is not violating Section 365.040. St. Peters Police Department enforces whatever hours are actually posted under this chapter.
Violations & Fines
Parking during a posted restricted period on a street listed in Schedule III, Table III-C violates Section 365.040 and is enforceable by St. Peters Police Officers once the required signs, per Section 365.060, are actually in place. Because Chapter 365 sets no fine of its own for this offense, it defaults to the City's general penalty, Section 100.060: up to $500.00, up to 90 days in jail, or both.
