Jackson, TN Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Section 15-804 opens by banning parking anywhere a state or city sign forbids it, then lists 21 specific places where parking is always prohibited regardless of signage: on a sidewalk (bicycles excepted if they don't block pedestrians), in front of any driveway, within an intersection, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within a pedestrian crosswalk, within 20 feet of an intersection crosswalk, within 30 feet of a flashing beacon or stop sign, within 50 feet of a railroad crossing, within 20 feet of a fire station driveway (75 feet on the opposite side when signposted), alongside a street excavation, on the roadway side of a parked vehicle, on a bridge or in a tunnel, where narrow width would block traffic, in a posted no-parking zone, in a bus stop or taxi stand reserved for those vehicles, in a disabled-reserved space without the required permit or plate, blocking a traffic lane, within 8 feet of a mailbox Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. except on federal holidays, and more than 12 inches from the curb.

Section 15-813 backs this up with a presumption that the registered owner of a cited vehicle parked it, and § 15-814 lets the police chief appoint volunteers to enforce the disabled-parking items.
