Orange County, FL Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Section 35-62 splits the rule by roadway type. On a two-way roadway, every vehicle stopped or parked must have its right-hand wheels parallel to and within twelve (12) inches of the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway. That single sentence does double duty: it bars parking against the flow of traffic, since a vehicle facing the wrong way presents its left wheels to the curb, and it bars stopping too far out into the travel lane. On a one-way roadway, a vehicle must park parallel to the curb or edge of the roadway in the direction of authorized traffic movement, with wheels within twelve inches of either curb, which leaves both sides of a one-way street available so long as the vehicle points the way traffic runs. Where Orange County has marked angle or perpendicular spaces on a street, vehicles must follow the angle marked on the street instead of the parallel rule.
