Summary
Along any public road right-of-way the board of commissioners has designated as a no-parking area, Hall County Code § 10.70.010 bars stopping, standing or parking a vehicle except to avoid a traffic conflict or on an officer's direction. The county has designated more than a dozen specific stretches this way, posts them with signs, and tows unattended violators to the sheriff's abandoned-vehicle lot.
Except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic, or in compliance with law or directions of a law enforcement officer or official traffic control device, no person shall stop, stand, or park a vehicle in or along any public road right-of-way which has been designated by the board of commissioners of the county as a no parking area pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.

Full Breakdown
Chapter 10.70, Parking on Public Right-of-Way, prohibits stopping, standing or parking along any county road right-of-way the board of commissioners has designated a no-parking area, except when necessary to avoid a traffic conflict or in compliance with an officer's direction or a traffic control device (§ 10.70.010). Chapter 10.80 lists the specific roads covered, including stretches of Snelling Mill Road, Newton Street, Capri Terrace, West Ridge Road, Rilla Road, Jim Hood Road, Stephens Road, Chestnut Ridge Road, Oakwood Road and Martin Drive; each entry directs the county traffic engineer to post appropriate signs marking the zone.
Enforcement falls to the sheriff and his deputies, the county marshals, and any other persons the board of commissioners designates (§ 10.70.020). Any vehicle left unattended in violation of § 10.70.010 may be towed to the area the sheriff maintains for abandoned vehicles, or another county-designated location, and the owner must pay the removal cost plus a $3.00-per-day storage fee before reclaiming it (§ 10.70.030). This right-of-way scheme is distinct from, but mirrors, the parking rules that apply on county-owned property under chapter 10.60 and at the county parking deck under chapter 10.90.
Violations & Fines
A violation of chapter 10.70 is a misdemeanor under § 10.70.040, tried before the Magistrate or State Court of Hall County. Punishment follows Code of Ordinances § 1.50.020: up to a $1,000.00 fine, up to six months' imprisonment, or both, with the court required to probate at least 120 days of any sentence, and no more than 60 days served in jail if probation is revoked.
