Summary

Hollywood bans parking a vehicle so it faces oncoming traffic on any street, right-of-way, or swale, whether or not curbing exists, under Code of Ordinances section 72.006, and separately bans stopping, standing, or parking so as to block any public or private driveway under section 72.032. Both are enforced citywide as standard on-street parking offenses.

§ 72.006: It is unlawful to park any vehicle on any street, right-of-way or swale area in such a manner as to face oncoming, opposing traffic, whether or not curbing is present. § 72.032: It shall be a violation for any person to stop, stand or park any motor vehicle so as to block any public or private driveway.

Full Breakdown

Section 72.006 makes it "unlawful to park any vehicle on any street, right-of-way or swale area in such a manner as to face oncoming, opposing traffic, whether or not curbing is present," meaning a driver cannot pull into a spot on the far side of the street and park facing the wrong way, even where there is no curb to define the lane. Section 72.032 separately makes it a violation "to stop, stand or park any motor vehicle so as to block any public or private driveway," reaching a homeowner's own driveway, a neighbor's, or a commercial entrance alike.

A related alley provision, section 72.007(B), bars parking within an alley "in such position as to block the driveway or entrance to any abutting property." These sit alongside other on-street rules in the same chapter: section 72.013 bars parking outside a marked space, and section 72.021 bars parking that usurps the traveled portion of an unpaved or uncurbed street. Both 72.006 and 72.032 trace back to the city's original 1979 traffic ordinance, O-79-13, and 72.032 was later amended by O-2009-06. Enforcement for all of these runs through Parking Enforcement Officers, Code Enforcement Officers, and Community Service Officers under section 72.151, with citations payable within ten business days before late fees attach under section 72.999(J).

Violations & Fines

Facing oncoming traffic under section 72.006 draws a flat $40 fine under section 72.999(E)(3)(a). Blocking a driveway under section 72.032 also starts at $40 under section 72.999(E)(3)(b), but escalates to $85 for a second violation within six months and $150 for a third or later violation in that window. Every citation adds a $5 school crossing guard surcharge under section 72.999(E)(7).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park facing the wrong way on my street in Hollywood?
No. Section 72.006 makes it unlawful to park facing oncoming, opposing traffic on any street, right-of-way, or swale area, whether or not the street has curbing, and a violation carries a $40 fine under section 72.999(E)(3)(a).
What if someone parks in front of my driveway in Hollywood?
That is a violation of section 72.032, which bars stopping, standing, or parking so as to block any public or private driveway. Report it for a citation; the fine starts at $40 and climbs to $85, then $150, for repeat offenses within six months.
Does Hollywood's driveway-blocking rule cover alleys too?
Yes, through a companion provision. Section 72.007(B) separately bars parking within an alley in a position that blocks the driveway or entrance to any property the alley abuts, on top of the general driveway-blocking ban in section 72.032.
