Full Breakdown
Section 350.010, Standing or Parking Close to Curb, requires that except as otherwise provided, every vehicle stopped or parked on a roadway with adjacent curbs be stopped or parked with its right-hand wheels parallel to and within eighteen (18) inches of the right-hand curb, effectively requiring cars to park facing the direction of traffic on their own side of the street rather than against the flow. Section 355.010.A then lists absolute no-stopping zones (on the roadway side of another parked vehicle, on a sidewalk, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, near a safety zone, alongside an excavation, on a bridge or tunnel, on railroad tracks, or where signs prohibit it), while Subsection A.2 adds a set of no-standing zones except for momentary passenger pickup or drop-off: in front of a public or private driveway, within thirty (30) feet of an intersection, within fifteen (15) feet of a fire hydrant, within twenty (20) feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, within thirty (30) feet of an approach to a flashing signal or stop sign, and within twenty (20) feet of a fire station driveway (seventy-five feet on the opposite side if posted).
Section 355.010.B further bars moving an unlawfully controlled vehicle into any prohibited area or away from a curb an unlawful distance. These sections are enforced by the Police Department City-wide.
Violations & Fines
Stopping, standing or parking violations under Sections 350.010 and 355.010 are prosecuted as ordinance violations under the City's general penalty, Section 100.220, which sets the fine for offenses lacking their own penalty clause; a vehicle blocking a driveway or fire hydrant zone can be ticketed on the spot.
