Unincorporated Colusa County requires vehicles to park within 18 inches of the right-hand curb, prohibits angle parking unless approved and striped, bars double parking, and lets the road commissioner mark parking spaces and post location-specific restrictions.
Under Colusa County Code Section 12A-5, every vehicle parked on a street with curbs must be parked with the right-hand wheels parallel to and within 18 inches of the right-hand curb (motorcycles must have at least one wheel touching the curb); where no curb exists, right-hand parallel parking within 18 inches of the pavement edge is required. On a one-way street the left side may also be used (Section 12A-5(b)). Section 12A-4 prohibits angle parking countywide except where approved by the sheriff and lines have been placed to mark the spaces. Section 12A-6 prohibits double parking (parking on the roadway side of an already-parked vehicle), except a school bus loading pupils. Section 12A-22 authorizes the road commissioner to install parking-space markings and prohibits parking across or outside marked space lines so as to make adjacent spaces unusable. Section 12A-11 lists specific locations where parking is prohibited (including portions of Fifth Street and Putnam Way in Arbuckle and county-owned parking lots when signed), and lets the board add locations by resolution to eliminate traffic hazards.
The Colusa County Sheriff's Department and CHP are the issuing and enforcement agencies, citing under California Vehicle Code Section 40202 (Section 12A-38). The board of supervisors adopts and amends a schedule of civil penalties, late fees, and administrative charges by resolution (Section 12A-39). Contests and appeals follow California Vehicle Code Sections 40200-40230 (Section 12A-41).
