LA County Title 15 (Vehicles and Traffic) governs Altadena streets. Standard rules: 72-hour limit on parking the same vehicle in one spot, no parking against curb direction, and posted street-sweeping zones enforced by LA County Sheriff & Public Works.
Under California Vehicle Code 22651(k) and LA County Code Title 15, a vehicle parked in the same spot on a public road for 72 or more consecutive hours may be ticketed and towed. Street-sweeping signs are posted by LA County Public Works on most Altadena blocks (typically one morning per week). Parking is prohibited within 15 feet of a fire hydrant (CVC 22514) and 20 feet of a crosswalk. The LA County Sheriff's Altadena Station handles enforcement.
