Street parking in Lee County follows city ordinances plus Alabama's rules of the road, which bar parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant or blocking crosswalks and driveways. Auburn adds heavy game-day restrictions near campus.
Alabama sets no statewide street-parking time limit, but Ala. Code §32-5A-137 prohibits stopping, standing, or parking on a sidewalk or crosswalk, within an intersection, in front of a driveway, and within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. Auburn and Opelika layer on local rules, including posted downtown time limits and Auburn's extensive game-day and event parking restrictions around Auburn University, where tow-away zones and no-parking corridors appear on football Saturdays. Neither city runs a broad residential permit program, though some campus-adjacent streets are restricted. Unincorporated county roads rely mainly on the state rules of the road.
Hydrant, crosswalk, and driveway violations under Ala. Code §32-5A-137 bring citations and possible towing from Auburn PD, Opelika PD, or the Lee County Sheriff. Game-day tow-away zones are actively enforced.
