Night Parking Restricted. No vehicle may be parked on a street or municipal parking lot between the hours of 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., unless one of the following applies: The vehicle is an authorized emergency vehicle as defined in Wis. Stat. 340.01(3).

This exception does not apply if the vehicle has a trailer attached to it.

At the time a night parking permit is issued, the police chief shall inform the vehicle owner how to display proof of that permit. All fees paid are nonrefundable. An application for a night parking permit shall include the name, home address, and phone number of the vehicle owner, the make, model, and registration plate number of the vehicle, and any other information required by the police chief.

Full Breakdown
WAMC § 10.105 prohibits parking any vehicle on a City street or municipal parking lot between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Exceptions include authorized emergency vehicles and vehicles displaying a valid night parking permit issued by the police chief, available annually, quarterly or monthly for a fee; vehicles over 8,000 pounds, mobile homes, trailers and vehicles used mainly for commercial purposes cannot get a permit. The section also imposes alternating even/odd-side overnight parking based on the calendar date, separate from the 3-6 a.m. ban.
Violations & Fines
Parking on a West Allis street or municipal lot between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. without an emergency-vehicle exemption or police-chief-issued permit violates WAMC § 10.105, as does parking on the wrong side of the street under the alternating even/odd rule.
