Summary
Sec. 58-13 of the Hialeah Code makes it unlawful to park a motor vehicle, trailer, RV, moped, bus or vessel on a sidewalk, curb, a raised landscaped swale next to a sidewalk, or in a spot that blocks or impedes access to a driveway.
Unlawful acts. It shall be unlawful for any person having ownership, possession or use of a motor vehicle, tractor, trailer, truck, van, recreational vehicle, motorcycle, moped, bus or vessel as defined by state law to park on a sidewalk, curb, raised landscaped swale area adjacent to a sidewalk or in front of, blocking or otherwise impeding access to, a driveway.
Full Breakdown
,' targets a specific set of on-street and adjacent-to-street locations rather than general curbside parking citywide. The prohibited conduct covers any person having ownership, possession or use of a motor vehicle, tractor, trailer, truck, van, recreational vehicle, motorcycle, moped, bus or vessel who parks it on a sidewalk, on a curb, on a raised landscaped swale area adjacent to a sidewalk, or in front of, blocking or otherwise impeding access to a driveway. The section reaches beyond ordinary cars to trailers, buses and even vessels, reflecting Hialeah's broader Chapter 58 pattern of regulating vehicle and vessel storage on public rights-of-way alongside the separate sale-and-display rules in Sec.
58-9 and the abandoned-vehicle rules in Sec. 58-7 and 58-8. Sec. 58-13 traces to Ord. No. 2005-58, adopted June 28, 2005. It sets no dedicated fine, so an offense defaults to the Code's general civil-infraction penalty in Sec. 00 per violation, with each day the vehicle remains parked in violation counted as a separate offense, enforced through the code-inspector citation and special-master hearing process in chapter 22.
Violations & Fines
Parking on a sidewalk, curb, raised landscaped swale, or in a spot blocking a driveway is a civil infraction under Sec. 1-11 because Sec. 58-13 carries no specific fine: up to $500.00 per violation, with each day the vehicle remains illegally parked treated as a separate offense.
