Summary
Tulsa bans overnight street parking only where official signs post specific hours; there is no citywide overnight parking ban, and any posted-hours violation is a fine under Title 37 Chapter 5.
Where official signs are erected giving notice that parking is prohibited during certain hours, no person shall park a vehicle during such hours upon that portion of the street so designated.
Full Breakdown
Tulsa Revised Ordinances Title 37 § 508 prohibits parking during hours posted on official signs: the city's mechanism for overnight parking restrictions on specific streets, rather than a blanket citywide ban. Where a sign designates no parking between set overnight hours, parking there during that window violates the code; where no such sign exists, overnight parking is legal. Separately, § 519 makes it illegal to leave any vehicle unattended on a public street for more than 24 continuous hours, so even unrestricted streets have a limit before impoundment.
Violations & Fines
Parking during posted no-parking hours is punishable by a fine up to $100 under Title 37 § 527; a vehicle left over 24 hours gets tagged and can be impounded under § 519.
