Las Cruces sets no citywide street-parking time limit for cars, but Sec. 27-12-6-6.1 bars parking on sidewalks, in front of driveways, within intersections, on crosswalks, and within 15 feet of a fire hydrant.
New Mexico leaves street-parking limits to cities, and Las Cruces regulates them in Chapter 27, Article VI.

Downtown metered zones (Sec. 27-12-9-1) operate 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. except Sundays and holidays, with a maximum stay set by the administrator. There is no general residential overnight ban.
Municipal traffic offense under Sec. 27-12-6-6.1; vehicles parked in prohibited places are subject to citation and towing at the owner's expense.
