Each city regulates curbside parking. Carmel requires vehicles to park parallel, headed with traffic, within 12 inches of the curb. Fishers requires leaving at least 18 feet of open roadway and bars parking within 20 feet of an intersection.
There is no county-wide street-parking code; the rules belong to Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield. Carmel's general parking restriction requires cars to sit parallel to the curb, headed with lawful traffic, with the right wheels within 12 inches of the curb, except where angle parking is signed. Fishers additionally prohibits leaving less than 18 feet of roadway width, parking directly opposite a driveway, within 20 feet of an intersection, within 30 feet of a stop sign or signal, or on a sidewalk or crosswalk. Unincorporated county roads follow Indiana Code Title 9 traffic rules.
Parking citations issued by city police or code enforcement; repeat or hazardous violations may lead to ticketing and towing.
