Chattanooga regulates on-street parking through its traffic code. Downtown has metered parking, and the 72-hour rule applies citywide for vehicles that must move periodically.
Chattanooga's parking regulations include metered zones in the downtown and Southside areas, time-limited zones in commercial districts, and the 72-hour rule on residential streets. The Chattanooga Department of Transportation manages parking infrastructure. No parking within 15 feet of fire hydrants or blocking crosswalks. The North Shore and downtown areas have specific parking regulations due to tourism and event traffic.
Parking violations result in tickets. Vehicles parked over 72 hours may be tagged as abandoned and towed.
