Sun Prairie, WI Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

010 lists dozens of street-specific parking prohibitions rather than a single citywide overnight parking rule. overnight ban: item 5 bars parking on both sides of Linnerud Drive between South Bird Street and South Walker Way during those hours, and item 30 bars parking on the south side of Severson Drive from Amber Trail to Emerald Terrace during the same window. The chapter also carries seasonal winter bans on other streets, school-hours restrictions near several schools, and market-day restrictions downtown, all under the same section. These restrictions apply 'except temporarily for the purpose of and while actually engaged in receiving or discharging passengers,' so a brief stop to drop someone off is not a violation even during the restricted hours.

The section was substantially rewritten by Ordinance No. 20 and replaced it with the current list of street-by-street restrictions, and the Linnerud Drive and Severson Drive night bans were carried into that rewrite, with the Linnerud Drive list itself last updated by Ordinance No. 970 in August 2025. Signs posted along the affected blocks give drivers notice of the exact hours and boundaries, and enforcement follows the general parking-violation procedure for the rest of the chapter.
