California Vehicle Code §22651(k) allows Elk Grove to tow any vehicle parked on a public street for more than 72 consecutive hours. Elk Grove Municipal Code Chapter 10.32 adds local restrictions on posted zones, street sweeping, and permit areas.
Elk Grove Police Department enforces street parking rules under CVC §22651(k), which authorizes removal of a vehicle left on a public street for 72 or more consecutive hours. Moving the vehicle a few feet does not reset the clock; the vehicle must travel a measurable distance and be operated normally. Elk Grove Municipal Code Chapter 10.32 sets local parking regulations including time-limited zones, permit parking districts near schools and the Old Town area, and no-parking zones posted with signage. Street sweeping occurs on a posted schedule and, in designated sweep zones, vehicles must be moved during the posted hours or risk citation. Parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, in red zones, or blocking driveways is prohibited under CVC §22500 and is towable.
