You may not leave a vehicle parked on any parish street, shoulder or curb for more than 48 consecutive hours, and parking on medians and neutral grounds is prohibited unless signs allow it.
Jefferson Parish Code Chapter 36, Article V governs on-street parking. Sec. 36-88 makes it unlawful to park, stop or leave a vehicle standing on any street, highway, roadway, shoulder or curb for longer than 48 consecutive hours. Sec. 36-92 bars parking on the public neutral ground (median) of any street unless the appropriate parish department permits it with posted signs. No-parking zones are posted by the Department of Public Works traffic-engineering division. Incorporated cities enforce their own street-parking rules.
Vehicles left over the limit may be tagged and towed as abandoned under Article V; owners pay towing, storage fees and penalties to redeem the vehicle.
