Full Breakdown

Under the Town's On-street Parking Policy, parking is allowed along public streets where it can be safely accommodated; restrictions are added through a review process. Where authorized signs are posted, Model Traffic Code Section 1204(3.5) (adopted at CRMC 10.04.010) makes it unlawful to park contrary to the posted limitations. On narrow streets, parking may be limited to one side to preserve emergency access and comply with the International Fire Code. A vehicle standing on a street for more than 72 hours can be treated as abandoned (CRMC 10.20.010).

Violations & Fines

Posted-sign parking violations are traffic infractions under the Model Traffic Code; for all parking violations, fines are doubled if not paid within 15 days of the citation (CRMC 10.04.040.J).
