Key Facts

The Short Version

Inglewood has a citywide Residential Permit Parking Program that operates 24/7 in designated districts. The program was created to protect residential neighborhoods from sports and entertainment venue visitors. Street parking duration may be restricted by posted signs, and vehicles may not be stored on public streets.

Full Breakdown

Inglewood's street parking regulations are significantly shaped by the city's status as a major sports and entertainment destination. The citywide Residential Permit Parking Program was established by City Council ordinance to protect residential neighborhoods from visitors to SoFi Stadium (home of the LA Rams and LA Chargers), the Kia Forum, and the Intuit Dome.

The program operates on a full-time basis, Monday through Sunday, 24 hours a day in designated permit parking districts. Regulations are uniformly applied citywide. Visitors may park on streets with residential permits if they obtain a temporary visitor permit from the resident they are visiting. The duration of parking on any public street may be restricted by posted signs, and it is unlawful to park beyond the posted maximum time limit.

Additionally, IMC Section 10-18 prohibits performing maintenance work or making repairs on vehicles parked on public streets or alleys. Minor repairs such as oil changes, tire changes, brake inspections, and fluid checks may be performed in a private driveway or backyard, but not on the street.

What Happens If You Violate This?

Street parking violations result in citations and potential towing. Vehicles parked in violation of posted time limits may be removed pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 22651(n). Parking fines vary based on the specific violation.
