Parking on public roads in York County follows the state traffic code. S.C. Code 56-5-2530 bars stopping or parking on sidewalks, in intersections, on crosswalks, in front of driveways, and within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant.
South Carolina's uniform traffic rules apply on every public road, so the same parking prohibitions cover a Rock Hill city street and an unincorporated county road near Clover. S.C. Code 56-5-2530 forbids stopping, standing, or parking on a sidewalk, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, or on the roadway side of a parked vehicle, and bars standing or parking in front of a driveway or within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant. The York County Sheriff and state troopers enforce these on county roads; city police enforce inside Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Clover, and York, where posted limits and permit zones may add restrictions. South Carolina has no snow-emergency parking bans.
Parking in a prohibited place under S.C. Code 56-5-2530 is a traffic offense. Officers issue a citation, and a vehicle blocking a hydrant, driveway, or travel lane can be towed at the owner's expense.
