On-street parking in Johns Creek is governed primarily by Georgia's Uniform Rules of the Road (O.C.G.A. 40-6-200 and 40-6-203). Vehicles must park with the right-hand wheels parallel to and within 12 inches of the curb, and parking is barred in specified hazardous locations and at posted no-parking signs.
Johns Creek does not maintain an extensive city-specific on-street parking code; instead, its Police Department enforces Georgia state law. Under O.C.G.A. 40-6-200, every vehicle stopped or parked on a two-way roadway must be parked with its right-hand wheels parallel to and within 12 inches of the right-hand curb, or as close as practicable to the right edge of the right-hand shoulder where there is no curb; one-way roadways allow parking within 12 inches of either curb in the direction of travel. O.C.G.A. 40-6-203 prohibits stopping, standing, or parking on the roadway side of a parked vehicle, on a sidewalk, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, on a bridge or in a tunnel, alongside a street excavation or obstruction, on railroad tracks, or at any place where official signs prohibit stopping. The city's Police Department parking-enforcement policy (02-27) confirms it enforces O.C.G.A. 40-6-202 and 40-6-203 for areas where parking is prohibited and the no-parking zones designated in the city Code of Ordinances, placing particular emphasis on marked fire lanes and handicapped spaces.
Parking too far from the curb, in a prohibited location, or contrary to a posted sign is enforced by the Johns Creek Police Department, which may issue a parking citation (placed under the windshield wiper) or a Georgia Uniform Traffic Citation if the driver is present. Improperly parked vehicles may be impounded under O.C.G.A. 40-6-203.1 and 40-6-206, and citations are heard in municipal court.
