Dearborn allows on-street parking in most residential areas but prohibits parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, 20 feet of a crosswalk, and in posted no-parking zones. Snow emergency rules apply.
Street parking in Dearborn is governed by Chapter 22 (Traffic and Vehicles) of the City Code, which incorporates the Michigan Uniform Traffic Code. Vehicles may not park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, within 30 feet of a traffic signal, or in any area posted with signs restricting parking. Parking is prohibited on sidewalks, lawn extensions, and in a manner that blocks a driveway. During declared snow emergencies, the city can prohibit on-street parking to allow plowing, and vehicles left in violation may be ticketed or towed. Many residential streets have street-sweeping schedules posted seasonally from April through November, with temporary no-parking signs. Commercial truck parking on residential streets is generally prohibited overnight. Contact the Police Department non-emergency line at (313) 943-2240 for enforcement questions.
