Haverford, PA Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Chapter 175 of the Haverford Township Code, Vehicles and Traffic, governs parking on Township highways. Section 175-23 bars parking any trailer, house trailer, motor home, boat or boat trailer within the public right-of-way of any highway at any time. Where a space is marked off for an individual vehicle, § 175-24 requires the vehicle to sit within the lines. Stopping or standing is prohibited at all times on the streets in Schedule XIV (§ 175-89), except in accordance with official traffic control devices and except for vehicles licensed for public transportation at authorized stations. Angle parking is allowed only at the designated angle and within the painted stall lines, with the front of the vehicle nearest the curb (§ 175-26). Streets in Schedule XVI (§ 175-91) ban all parking at all times, and Schedule XIX (§ 175-94) caps how long a vehicle can stay.

Disabled vehicles have their own limit. Section 175-63 makes it unlawful to leave a disabled motor vehicle on a public highway for more than 48 consecutive hours, and unlawful to repair or service one there except in an emergency. Before a tow, the Police Department mails the owner notice that the vehicle can be removed and impounded if it is not moved within 48 hours. After the Township Manager declares a snow or ice emergency, § 175-59 bars parking on the streets listed in Schedule XXIII (§ 175-98).

Resident parking stickers under § 175-34 let the owner or lessee of a single-family residence in a designated area park in the street abutting the residence without regard to time limits imposed by other Township rules. The application fee is $3, payable to the Police Department (§ 175-36). On metered streets, § 175-49 limits parking to two hours at any one time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and § 175-50 sets the charge at $0.25 for every 30 minutes, with a maximum of two hours.
