Full Breakdown

Violations & Fines
A vehicle left in the same spot for more than sixty minutes between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. is in violation of Section 10.48.110, citable by police officers or a parking ambassador under Section 10.48.107. The vehicle's license plate is prima facie proof under Section 10.48.230 that the registered owner was the one who parked it, and a vehicle that also obstructs traffic can be towed with removal costs billed to the owner.
