Glendale, AZ Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

City Code § 24-62 lists sixteen specific no-stopping, no-standing and no-parking locations enforced citywide: sidewalks, in front of a public or private driveway, within an intersection, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, on a crosswalk, within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, within 30 feet of a stop sign or signal, near safety zones, within 50 feet of a railroad crossing, near fire station driveways, alongside street excavations, on the roadway side of another parked vehicle, on bridges or in tunnels, wherever official signs prohibit it, on controlled-access highways, and for more than 48 consecutive hours on any street, alley or roadway.

Section 24-81 separately requires that except where otherwise provided, a vehicle standing or parked in a roadway must be parallel to the edge of the roadway, headed in the direction of lawful traffic movement, with its curbside wheels within 18 inches of the curb, which is the code's operative ban on parking against traffic (wrong-way parking). Every person in whose name a vehicle is registered is prima facie responsible for a parking violation under § 24-80, even if someone else parked it, unless the vehicle was used without the owner's consent.

A violation regulating the time, place or method of parking is a civil infraction under § 24-130, adjudicated in city court under Chapter 13, Article II, and continuous violations count as a separate offense for each full hour they continue per § 24-80(c).
