(F)Section 1210, Designated areas on private property for authorized vehicles, is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: 1210. Parking for certain purposes prohibited. No person shall park a vehicle upon a highway for the principal purpose of:(A)Displaying such vehicle for sale;(B)Greasing, painting, or repairing such vehicle, except for repairs necessitated by an emergency; or(C)Displaying advertising. ... (I)Subsection (2) of Section 1204, Stopping, standing, or parking prohibited in specified places, is hereby amended as follows:(c)Within thirty feet of a crosswalk OR an intersection.

Full Breakdown

Section 10-04-050 adopts the 2024 Model Traffic Code for Colorado Municipalities by reference, and 10-04-060 lists Broomfield's local amendments to it. Amendment (F) rewrites MTC Section 1210, retitled Parking for certain purposes prohibited, to bar parking a vehicle on a highway for the principal purpose of displaying it for sale, greasing, painting, or repairing it except for emergency repairs, or displaying advertising. Amendment (I) tightens MTC Section 1204(2), which already restricts stopping, standing, or parking near crosswalks and intersections, by rewriting subsection (c) to set a flat thirty-foot no-parking buffer from either a crosswalk or an intersection, closing what had been a narrower or differently worded state-model buffer.

These amendments apply on every street, alley, sidewalk area, driveway, park, and public parking area within Broomfield's jurisdiction per 10-04-030. Section 10-04-070 makes each event of noncompliance with the chapter or the amended Model Traffic Code its own separate infraction or offense, and enforcement runs through the Broomfield Police Department applying the adopted Model Traffic Code alongside these local amendments. The city's traffic engineer and police officers rely on these sections daily for routine curbside enforcement near intersections, school zones, and commercial strips where vehicles are commonly left for sale or informal repair work.

Violations & Fines

Each violation is a separate traffic infraction or offense under Section 10-04-070, punishable per Chapter 1-12's general penalty or the penalty schedule specific to traffic infractions in Chapter 10-05, including fines up to $500.00 per infraction where no jury trial applies. A vehicle parked to display a for-sale sign, undergo repairs, or advertise on a highway, or parked within thirty feet of a crosswalk or intersection, can each be cited independently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my car on the street with a For Sale sign in the window?
No. Amended MTC Section 1210 in 10-04-060(F) makes it unlawful to park a vehicle on a highway for the principal purpose of displaying it for sale, and this applies to public streets throughout Broomfield.
How close to an intersection can I legally park?
Not within thirty feet. The 10-04-060(I) amendment to MTC Section 1204(2)(c) sets a flat thirty-foot no-parking zone from either a crosswalk or an intersection, replacing the unamended Model Traffic Code buffer.
Can I do minor repairs on my car while it's parked on the street?
No, except emergency repairs. Amended Section 1210 bars parking on a highway to grease, paint, or repair a vehicle, with the only exception being repairs made necessary by an emergency.
