Fort Worth, TX Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

City Code § 22-178 sets Fort Worth's core on-street parking rules. Subsection (a)(1) bars stopping, standing or parking on a sidewalk, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, alongside a street excavation, on a bridge or in a highway tunnel, or on a railroad track. Subsection (a)(2) bars standing or parking, except momentarily to pick up or drop off a passenger, in front of a public or private driveway, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, within 30 feet of a stop sign, yield sign or traffic signal, or within 20 feet of a fire station driveway (75 feet on the opposite side, when posted).

Subsection (a)(3) bars parking within 50 feet of a railroad crossing except while actively loading or unloading. Subsections (b) and (c) require every vehicle parked on a two-way roadway to sit with its right-hand wheels parallel to and within 18 inches of the curb, and on a one-way roadway to sit parallel to the curb in the direction of authorized traffic, wheels within 18 inches of the applicable curb, which is the local mechanism that makes parking against the flow of traffic ("wrong-way" parking) a violation. § 22-171(b) separately makes it unlawful to park on private property, including a private driveway, without the owner's consent.
