Eagan, MN Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Section 9.02 bars stopping, standing or parking, except to avoid a traffic conflict or on a police officer's direction, in 15 named locations: on a sidewalk or trailway; in front of a public or private driveway or trailway; within an intersection; within ten feet of a fire hydrant or mailbox; on a crosswalk or within 20 feet of one at an intersection; in a signposted fire lane; within 30 feet of a flashing beacon, stop sign or signal; within 50 feet of a railroad crossing; near a fire station driveway or across from one; alongside a street excavation that would obstruct traffic; on the roadway side of a car already parked at the curb; wherever signs prohibit it; in an alley outside active loading; or on a curbed boulevard.

Section 9.06 adds the mechanics of legal parking on a two-way street with a curb: the right-hand wheels must sit parallel to, and within 12 inches of, the curb, matching any painted markings, with the vehicle facing the direction of traffic; on a one-way street the left-hand wheels may instead hug the left curb, but the vehicle must still face the flow of traffic, meaning parking against traffic is itself unlawful under that section. Both sections are enforced by the Eagan Police Department, and Section 9.01 presumes the registered owner is responsible for a parking violation when the driver is not present.
