Summary
Cheektowaga bars parking any vehicle on a Town or county road for more than 24 consecutive hours, a townwide standard that applies on top of any posted no-parking, no-standing or alternate-side schedule. The scout-flagged § 235-25 governs private lots without the owner's consent, not on-street parking, so it does not apply here.
Parking is hereby prohibited on all Town highways and county roads in the Town of Cheektowaga for a period in excess of 24 consecutive hours.

Full Breakdown
Article IV of the traffic chapter, "Parking, Standing and Stopping," opens with § 235-32 applying its rules except when a stop is needed to avoid a traffic conflict or follow a police officer's direction. Layered on top of the street-specific schedules (no-parking, no-standing and no-stopping streets under §§ 235-34 through 235-36, and no-parking-certain-hours streets under § 235-39), § 235-37 sets a blanket cap: no vehicle may sit on any Town highway or county road for more than 24 consecutive hours, regardless of whether that street carries any other posted restriction.
m. m. m. m. Monday. By contrast, § 235-25, in Article III, governs off-street parking on "publicly or privately owned property" without the owner's consent, such as private lots, and is a separate rule from on-street parking. The Cheektowaga Police Department enforces the traffic chapter under § 235-3, using tags and summonses.
Violations & Fines
Section 235-10 sets tiered fines for any traffic-chapter violation not already covered by the state Vehicle and Traffic Law: up to $250 or 15 days' imprisonment, or both, for a first conviction; up to $500 for a second conviction within 18 months; and up to $750 for a third or later conviction within that 18-month period, each with up to 15 days' possible jail time.
