Lehigh County sets no street-parking rules; each municipality does. Allentown runs a Residential Permit Parking program under Chapter 615, letting permit-holding residents park on designated blocks without time limits while limiting non-permit vehicles.
Under Pennsylvania's Municipalities Planning Code, on-street parking is a city or borough matter, not a county one. Allentown's Residential Permit Parking (RPP) program authorizes the Parking Authority, with City Council approval, to designate streets where resident vehicles displaying valid permits may park without time-limit restrictions, while other vehicles are held to posted limits. A block qualifies when at least 50% of frontage is residential and occupancy and non-resident thresholds are met. Permits do not exempt vehicles from street-cleaning, loading zones, five-minute zones or safety rules. Other Lehigh municipalities such as Bethlehem and Emmaus have their own on-street parking schemes, so confirm signage and permit requirements for your specific block.
General Allentown stopping/standing/parking violations run $15 within 10 days, $25 after 10 days, up to $100 after 20 days (§615-58).
