Full Breakdown
Michigan has no countywide street parking code for Genesee County. Municipalities adopt the Uniform Traffic Code or local traffic-and-vehicles chapters that set on-street parking, time limits, and no-parking zones. The Genesee County Road Commission (GCRC) maintains county roads and their rights-of-way. Per GCRC, 'A permit is required to install anything within the public right of way,' and the commission 'is obligated to maintain safe public roads, including the right of way outside the paved portion.' For actual curbside parking rules, check your city or township traffic ordinance and posted signs.
Violations & Fines
