Chapter 181 of the Town of Colonie Code is the local Vehicles and Traffic chapter, adopted 5-5-1988. Article II covers Traffic Regulations and Article III covers Parking, Standing and Stopping. Under § 181-31, except where angle parking is authorized, every vehicle stopped or parked upon a roadway with adjacent curb shall be stopped or parked parallel with the edge of the roadway, headed in the direction of lawful traffic, with the right-hand wheels parallel to and within 12 inches of the curb. Vehicles parked in any marked space shall be parked within the lines bounding the space. Section 181-38 prohibits parking at all times on streets and parts of streets described in Schedule IX, and Schedule X lists streets where parking is prohibited during the hours indicated.

The New York Vehicle and Traffic Law setbacks at NY VAT §1202 (stopping, standing or parking outside business or residence districts) and §1203 (stopping, standing or parking on roadways) apply on top of the local rules. Handicap accessible parking provisions follow NY VAT §1203-a and §1203-c, with shopping centers of at least five retail stores and 20 parking spaces required to designate at least 5% of spaces (or 10 spaces, whichever is less) for handicapped use.
