Stonecrest, GA Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Stonecrest Code § 17-152 is the enabling rule behind any overnight or time-of-day parking ban in the city. Subsection (a) says that when parking during certain hours is prohibited by Chapter 17, by another ordinance or by an order of the city, no person may park a vehicle during those prohibited hours at a place indicated by official signs. Subsection (b) ties that prohibition to a schedule at section 17-362, which lists the specific streets or street segments where the hourly restriction applies. In practice this means Stonecrest does not set one citywide overnight curfew hour printed directly in the Code text; instead, the city designates particular streets for hour-limited or overnight parking bans, and § 17-131 separately requires at least one sign per block face announcing the restricted hours before it can be enforced there.

A driver parked overnight on a street that has not been designated and signed under this scheme is not in violation of § 17-152, even if a neighboring street carries an overnight restriction, because the prohibition is location-specific rather than automatic. This signage-first structure mirrors how the City handles general no-parking zones under § 17-136, keeping the enforceable hours tied to what is actually posted at the curb rather than to a single number in the ordinance.
