Fremont limits on-street parking to 72 hours and enforces posted time zones, with most residential streets permitting free parking outside restricted areas.
Fremont Municipal Code Chapter 10 and California Vehicle Code section 22651(k) prohibit any vehicle from being parked on a public street for more than 72 consecutive hours. Vehicles not moved within that window may be cited and towed. Posted time-limit zones (typically 2-hour limits near BART, downtown, and schools) are enforced during posted hours. Street sweeping occurs on scheduled days with posted no-parking signs; violations result in citations. Parking is prohibited within 15 feet of fire hydrants, 20 feet of crosswalks, and in red, yellow, or white curb zones except as marked.
