On-street parking is a city/township matter in Kent County, not a county function. Grand Rapids, for instance, runs odd-even seasonal parking from November 1 to April 1, forcing drivers to switch sides of the street each day so plows and street crews can work.
Kent County does not regulate parking on local residential streets; each city, village, and township posts and enforces its own rules. A representative example is the City of Grand Rapids odd-even seasonal parking program, in effect November 1 through April 1. On odd calendar dates between 1:00 AM and 6:00 PM you must park on the odd-address side; on even dates you park on the even-address side, with the opposite side prohibited. Between 6:00 PM and 1:00 AM you may park on either side but must move your vehicle to the side matching the next day's date by 1:00 AM. On posted one-side streets, parking is prohibited at all times on the signed side. Other Kent County communities set their
Cities and townships issue parking citations and may tow. Grand Rapids ticketing follows its traffic code; snow-emergency and odd-even violations incur municipal fines and possible tow/impound during plowing.
