Collierville, TN Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Section 72.28(A) of the Collierville Code of Ordinances lists eleven places where no person shall park, stand or stop a vehicle, in addition to any place covered by a sign the Town has erected. They are: a sidewalk; in front of a public or private driveway; within an intersection or within 15 feet of it; within 15 feet of a fire hydrant; within a pedestrian crosswalk; within 50 feet of a railroad crossing; within 20 feet of the driveway entrance to any fire station, plus the opposite side of the street within 75 feet of the entrance when properly signposted; alongside or opposite any street excavation or obstruction when other traffic would be obstructed; on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb of a street; upon any bridge; and alongside any curb painted yellow or red by the municipality.

Division (B) supplies the definitions. PARK means the standing of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, other than temporarily for the purpose of and while actually engaged in loading or unloading persons or cargo. STOP or STAND means any stopping or standing of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the directions of a police officer or traffic-control sign or signal.

The neighboring sections fill in the rest. Section 72.25(B) says a parked vehicle should sit with its right wheels approximately parallel to and within 18 inches of the right edge curb, so parking against traffic on a two-way street is out of line with that rule. Section 72.26 requires angle parking only at the angle shown by signs or markings and bars angle parking for any vehicle with a trailer or a length in excess of 24 feet. Section 72.27 bars occupying more than one marked space unless the vehicle is too large for a single space. Under § 72.36, the registered owner of an unoccupied illegally parked vehicle is presumed responsible.
