Summary

In the City of Huntington Park, California, a parked vehicle must sit parallel to the curb, headed with traffic, with its right-hand wheels within eighteen inches of the curb line (§ 4-7.1301). No vehicle can be parked, stopped, or left standing wholly or partly in front of a driveway apron or in a way that blocks a driveway (§ 4-7.1401(b)).

No person shall stand or park a vehicle in a roadway other than parallel with the edge of the roadway, headed in the direction of traffic, and with the right-hand wheels of the vehicle within eighteen (18″) inches of the curb line or edge of the roadway except as follows: ... (b) No vehicle shall be parked, stopped, nor shall stand either wholly or partially in front of any driveway apron or in any manner which shall obstruct or interfere with the free movement of vehicles in such driveway or in any manner so as to obstruct or otherwise prevent or interfere with ingress to or egress from any driveway.

Full Breakdown

Section 4-7.1301 sets the default method for every street in the City of Huntington Park in Los Angeles County: parallel with the edge of the roadway, headed in the direction of traffic, right-hand wheels within eighteen (18″) inches of the curb line. That wording is the wrong-way rule, because a vehicle facing against traffic is not headed in the direction of traffic. The exceptions are angle parking on streets marked or signed by the Traffic Authority, left-hand parking where an ordinance provides it, and parking within eighteen inches of the left-hand curb on a street designated one-way. Under § 4-7.1305, angle parking is not permitted on streets 50 feet or less wide from curb to curb or on the north side of Florence Avenue between Seville Avenue and Pacific Boulevard.

Driveway blocking is covered by § 4-7.1401(b). A driveway apron is the portion of a curb, parkway, or sidewalk depressed below the adjoining level to give vehicles access to the property. Parking in front of any part of it, or in any way that interferes with ingress or egress, is prohibited. Section 4-7.1401(a) adds that no one can stop, stand, or park within a tunnel, on a bridge or viaduct, within any parkway, in any intersection, or in any crosswalk.

Other lines in the same article tighten the rules. Section 4-7.1302 makes it unlawful to park other than as indicated by street markings or to straddle a marking or occupy more than one space. Section 4-7.1604 bars leaving a vehicle on any highway for 72 or more consecutive hours. Section 4-6.18 prohibits parking overnight on a street, alley, or public way without a valid overnight parking permit. Section 4-7.1606 limits parking on Pacific Boulevard between Slauson Avenue and Florence Avenue to one hour between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., except Sundays and holidays, when signs are posted. Under § 4-7.1610, officers can remove a vehicle left 72 or more consecutive hours.

Violations & Fines

Under § 4-7.1801, the officer or employee attaches a notice of parking violation to the vehicle, and the penalty is set by City Council resolution under the California Vehicle Code. Paying after the initial 21 day payment period but less than 60 days after the citation adds a penalty of $30. Payment between 60 and 89 days adds $60, and payment 90 days or more after the citation adds $90. Failure to pay or to request review in time means notification of the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How close to the curb must I park in Huntington Park?
Section 4-7.1301 requires the right-hand wheels of the vehicle to be within eighteen (18″) inches of the curb line or edge of the roadway, with the vehicle parallel to the edge and headed in the direction of traffic. The exceptions are angle parking where the Traffic Authority has marked or signed it, and left-hand curb parking on designated one-way streets.
Is it illegal to park in front of a driveway in the City of Huntington Park?
Yes. Section 4-7.1401(b) bars parking, stopping, or standing wholly or partially in front of any driveway apron, or in any way that obstructs the free movement of vehicles in the driveway or ingress to and egress from it. The section defines the apron as the depressed portion of the curb, parkway, or sidewalk that gives vehicles access to the property.
Can I leave a car on a Huntington Park street for several days?
Not for 72 or more consecutive hours. Section 4-7.1604 makes that unlawful on any highway in the City, and § 4-7.1610(a) lets officers remove a vehicle left that long. Separately, § 4-6.18 prohibits overnight parking on a street, alley, or public way without a valid overnight parking permit, which the City Council can set procedures and fees for by resolution.
What happens if I do not pay a Huntington Park parking ticket on time?
The base penalty comes from a City Council resolution. Under § 4-7.1801, payment after the initial 21 day period but less than 60 days after the citation adds $30, payment between 60 and 89 days adds $60, and payment 90 days or more after the citation adds $90. Failing to pay or to request review within the Vehicle Code time limits leads to notification of the Department of Motor Vehicles.
