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.
