Lincoln allows on-street parking but caps any vehicle at 24 hours in one spot on one side of a block, and prohibits parking that overhangs the curb line or blocks sidewalks and traffic.
Under Lincoln Municipal Code 10.32.190 no vehicle may stand on one side of a street within a block longer than 24 hours. LMC 10.32.220 bars parking that overhangs the street or adjacent property and restricts parking in the sidewalk space; single-family occupants on non-arterial residential streets may park perpendicularly over an existing curb cut on a hard surface, kept four feet from the curb line and sidewalk. The Director of Transportation and Utilities designates time limits, metered zones, and no-parking areas by signage. Unincorporated county roads follow state traffic law and the County Zoning Resolution rather than city parking rules.
Illegally parked or overtime vehicles receive citations; after 48 hours of illegal parking a vehicle can be deemed abandoned and towed at the owner's expense.
