On-street parking in Flint is governed by Chapter 28 of the City Code and the Michigan Vehicle Code (Act 300 of 1949). MCL 257.674 sets the statewide prohibited-parking locations - sidewalks, driveways, crosswalks, within 15 feet of fire hydrants, within 20 feet of crosswalks, within 30 feet of stop signs or traffic signals, within 50 feet of railroad crossings. Section 28-94 of the Flint Code authorizes immediate removal of vehicles in posted tow-away zones, and Section 28-86 caps street parking at 24 hours.
Flint's on-street parking system layers state statute on top of city ordinance. MCL 257.674 (Michigan Vehicle Code, Act 300 of 1949) prohibits parking on a sidewalk, in front of a public or private driveway, within an intersection, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, on a crosswalk, within 20 feet of a crosswalk (or within 15 feet of the intersection of property lines where no crosswalk exists), within 30 feet of the approach to a flashing beacon, stop sign or traffic-control signal, within 50 feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing, and within 20 feet of the driveway entrance to a fire station (and 75 feet on the opposite side if marked). The Michigan statute also presumes the registered owner is prima facie responsible for any civil-infraction parking violation. Chapter 28 of the Flint City Code adds local rules: Section 28-86 (no street parking for more than 24 hours), Section 28-94 (Stopping, Standing or Parking Prohibited in Certain Places - posted tow-away zones), Section 28-102 (Unattended Vehicles; Parking on Grade - engine off, ignition locked, key removed), and Section 28-103 (Parking on Private Property). Enforcement is by the Flint Police Department and the Department of Public Works (Street Maintenance) during snow operations.
Parking violations are municipal civil infractions enforced by the Flint Police Department. Vehicles in posted tow-away zones, blocking driveways, or parked in violation of MCL 257.674 setbacks (hydrants, crosswalks, stop signs, signals, railroad crossings, fire-station entrances) are subject to immediate tow and impoundment under Section 28-94 at the owner's expense. The 24-hour street limit in Section 28-86 applies citywide. Unpaid parking tickets accrue late fees and may lead to vehicle immobilization or registration holds through the Michigan Secretary of State.
