Full Breakdown

Section 16-70(a) of the Largo Code of Ordinances sets the manner of parking on any street with an adjacent curb: the vehicle's right-hand wheels must be parallel with, and within twelve inches of, the curb, unless the block is signed for angle parking or one-way travel. Section 16-70(b) separately bars leaving a vehicle unattended without stopping the engine, locking the ignition and removing the key, and requires the wheels turned toward the curb on any grade. Section 16-71 adds that no vehicle may occupy the street in a way that leaves less than ten feet of roadway open for traffic, and caps parking on unpaved or curbless streets at twelve inches of the paved surface.

Section 16-72 lists fourteen specific places where stopping, standing or parking is banned outright: sidewalks, in front of any public or private driveway, intersections, crosswalks, within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant, within twenty feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, within thirty feet of a stop sign or signal, within fifty feet of a railroad, near fire station driveways, alongside street excavations, on the roadway side of another parked vehicle, on bridges, or wherever official no-parking signs are posted. Section 16-68 separately bars blocking an alley driveway or entrance to abutting property.

The Engineering Services Division designates the signed zones referenced throughout this article under Section 16-128. 00 firefighter-education surcharge for parking in a disabled space without a permit.

Violations & Fines

Largo police and code enforcement cite parking violations under Section 16-74. Most infractions, including blocking a driveway, double parking, parking in a no-parking zone or exceeding a time-limited zone, carry a flat $30 fine. Parking in a space reserved for persons with disabilities without a valid permit carries a $100 fine plus a $3.00 surcharge funding the firefighters education trust fund. Each day a violation continues is a separate offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park facing the wrong way against traffic in Largo?
No. Section 16-70(a) requires a parked vehicle's right-hand wheels to sit parallel with and within twelve inches of the right-hand curb, which by design keeps the vehicle aligned with the flow of traffic on that side of the street. Parking against traffic puts the wheels on the wrong side relative to the curb and violates this manner-of-parking rule.
Is it illegal to park in front of my neighbor's driveway in Largo?
Yes. Section 16-72(a)(2) bans stopping, standing or parking in front of any public or private driveway, with no exception for a driveway that is not your own. Violators can be fined $30 under Section 16-74, and the vehicle can be ticketed even for a brief stop there.
How much is a parking ticket in Largo?
Most parking violations, including overtime parking, double parking and parking in a no-parking zone, carry a flat $30 fine under Section 16-74. Parking in a space reserved for people with disabilities without displaying a valid permit carries a higher $100 fine plus a $3.00 surcharge that funds the city's firefighters education trust fund.
