Full Breakdown
Section 18-10 lists the places where stopping, standing, or parking is unlawful except to avoid a traffic conflict or by police direction: on a sidewalk, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, alongside a street excavation that would obstruct traffic, on a bridge or elevated highway structure, on railroad tracks, on a bicycle path, or on the shoulder of a limited-access highway (with a six-hour exception for a mechanically disabled vehicle). A separate list bars standing or parking, except momentarily to load or unload a passenger, in front of a public or private driveway, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of an intersection crosswalk, within 30 feet of the approach to a flashing signal or stop sign, within 20 feet of a fire station driveway (75 feet on the opposite side when posted), or in an exclusive bicycle lane.
Parking within 50 feet of a railroad crossing is also prohibited except while actively loading or unloading. Section 18-11 governs how a legally parked car must sit: on a two-way roadway the right-hand wheels must be parallel to and within 12 inches of the curb, and on a one-way roadway a vehicle may park along either curb in the direction of traffic, again with wheels within 12 inches of the edge. It is separately unlawful to park in a way that interferes with the free flow of traffic, and a driver whose vehicle becomes disabled must move it, or get help moving it, so it does not obstruct traffic.
Violations & Fines
Vehicles parked in violation of Sec. 18-10 or Sec. 18-11 are ticketed by the Coral Springs Police Department, with the citation affixed to the offending vehicle. The registered owner is liable for the ticket unless the owner shows the vehicle was stolen or was, at the time, in the care, custody, or control of someone using it without permission; in that case the owner must furnish an affidavit identifying that person to law enforcement.
