Full Breakdown
Section TC3-2 of the Traffic Code governs the manner of on-street parking: wherever a parking space is marked on a street, highway, Town parking field or public private lot, a vehicle must park within the lines and face the proper direction according to the flow of traffic, which is the Code's basis for citing wrong-way parking. Section TC3-3(E), in the same Article II list of restrictions applied to Schedules "J", "L" and "Q", separately prohibits parking, standing or stopping a vehicle in a way that obstructs a driveway or alley, regardless of whether the vehicle is in a marked space.
, double-parking (§ TC3-3(C)), and bars stopping or standing within an intersection except where a sign or meter allows it (§ TC3-3(D)). Together these sections form the baseline rules for how and where a vehicle may sit on a Huntington street outside the incorporated villages, independent of any specific no-parking or metered-zone signage posted under Schedules J, L and Q.
Violations & Fines
Parking against the flow of traffic, blocking a driveway or alley, parking within 15 feet of a hydrant, double-parking roadside, or stopping in an intersection are each parking violations under Article II, cited through the Traffic Violations Bureau (Chapter TC7). A vehicle parked in violation of these restrictions may be removed by the Department of Public Safety under § TC6-2(C), with towing and storage fees set by § TC6-3.
