Full Breakdown

Florissant groups its street-parking bans into three tiers. The first bars stopping a vehicle at all in listed spots, including on the roadway side of another parked vehicle, on a sidewalk, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, near a safety zone, alongside a street excavation, on a bridge or in a tunnel, on railroad tracks, or wherever signs prohibit stopping. The second tier bars standing or parking except for a momentary passenger pickup or drop-off, covering in front of a public or private driveway, within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant, within twenty feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, within thirty feet of the approach to a signal or stop sign, within twenty feet of a fire station driveway (seventy-five feet on the opposite side if posted), and anywhere signs prohibit standing.

The third tier bars parking except for actual loading or unloading, covering within fifty feet of a railroad crossing and any signed no-parking location. 020 separately requires ten feet of roadway width be kept clear for traffic. None of these carries its own fine, so enforcement runs through the general penalty clause.

Violations & Fines

None of these categories carries its own listed fine, so a violation of Section 355.010 is enforced under the City's general penalty, Section 100.080: up to a $1,000 fine, up to three months in the City or County Jail, or both.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can someone park in front of my driveway in Florissant?
No. Section 355.010(A)(2)(a) prohibits standing or parking a vehicle in front of a public or private driveway except momentarily to pick up or drop off a passenger, and the City can cite the offending vehicle under the general penalty in Section 100.080.
How close to a fire hydrant can I park in Florissant?
You must stay at least fifteen feet away. Section 355.010(A)(2)(b) bars standing or parking within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant except for a momentary passenger drop-off, protecting firefighter access to the hydrant in an emergency.
Is it illegal to park within a crosswalk in Florissant?
Yes, in two ways: Section 355.010(A)(1)(d) bans stopping on a crosswalk outright, and Section 355.010(A)(2)(c) separately bars standing or parking within twenty feet of a crosswalk located at an intersection.
