Leominster, MA Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Section 13-24.4, 'General prohibition, Towing zones,' bars standing or parking in a dozen specific situations across the city. Vehicles cannot block snowplowing except where all-night parking is separately approved, sit within an intersection, block a sidewalk or crosswalk, or park on the roadway in a rural or sparsely settled district. Where parking is otherwise allowed, both right-side wheels must stay within twelve inches of the curb or roadway edge, and on one-way streets vehicles must park facing the direction of travel with wheels on one side within that same twelve inches, unless angle parking is designated. Parking within twenty feet of an intersecting way, in front of any alley, private road or driveway, within ten feet of a fire hydrant, or on the roadway side of a vehicle already stopped at the curb is also barred. Section 13-24.4(k) separately requires at least ten feet of clear, unobstructed roadway for passing traffic wherever a vehicle parks, and subsection (l) caps parking in any municipal lot at seventy-two consecutive hours.

Enforcement runs through Section 13-24.1, which authorizes the police chief or a sergeant or higher to order a vehicle towed, and Section 13-24.2 sets removal and storage fees at whatever amount state law authorizes. Owners are on the hook for those costs under Section 13-24.4 itself, on top of the fines Section 13-33 schedules separately for each violation type.
