Full Breakdown
010 sets a flat two-hour vehicle parking limit on three specific segments of St. Charles Street, the county seat's stretch of State Highway 49 in San Andreas: on the east side between 390 and 513 feet west of Treat Avenue, on the west side between 854 and 952 feet east of Church Hill Road (Main Street), and on the east side between California Street and Main Street. 020 imposes a separate, time-limited two-hour restriction on both sides of Main Street between St. , and not on Sundays or holidays.
These limits were adopted by Ordinance No. 1588 in 1983 and Ordinance No. 010 zones, and Ordinance No. 1465 in 1982 for the Main Street zone. Because Calaveras County has only one incorporated city, Angels Camp, these San Andreas street segments sit in unincorporated territory governed directly by the county code rather than a city ordinance. 24 separately bars leaving any vehicle on a public right-of-way for 72 or more consecutive hours anywhere in the unincorporated county.
Violations & Fines
Any person who exceeds the two-hour limit in a designated zone under Section 10.10.010 or 10.10.020 is guilty of an infraction, punished as provided in Section 42001 of the state Vehicle Code, which authorizes a base fine for a first infraction with escalating amounts for repeat violations within the same code section.
