Aurora, CO Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

The Aurora, Colorado City Code locally amends the state Model Traffic Code's curb-parking and no-stopping rules. On a two-way street, a vehicle must have its right-hand wheels parallel to and within 12 inches of the right-hand curb, which in practice means parking must face the direction of travel: parking against traffic doesn't satisfy this. On signed one-way streets, a vehicle may instead sit within 12 inches of the left curb, still facing the flow of traffic. The same section separately bars standing or parking within five feet of any public or private driveway, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, or within 20 feet of a crosswalk. Angle parking is allowed only on streets the city has specifically signed or marked for it.
