Folsom follows California Vehicle Code §22651(k) — any vehicle parked on a public street for more than 72 consecutive hours may be cited and towed. Parking is prohibited on unpaved portions of the right-of-way and must not block driveways, hydrants, or visibility at intersections.
California Vehicle Code §22651(k) authorizes Folsom Police to tow any vehicle that has been parked on a public street or highway for 72 or more consecutive hours. Enforcement is complaint-driven: officers chalk a tire or note position, then return after 72 hours. Moving the vehicle a short distance does not reset the clock if the vehicle is the same. Folsom Municipal Code Title 10 Chapter 10.40 prohibits parking on unpaved portions of the right-of-way, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 3 feet of a driveway, and in a manner that obstructs visibility at intersections. Posted permit zones exist in some Historic District neighborhoods. Street sweeping occurs on posted schedules — check signage. Vehicles blocking sidewalks violate CVC §22500(f).
72-hour violation: citation plus tow costs ($300-$500+ plus storage). Hydrant: $100+. Sidewalk blocking: CVC §22500(f) fine.
