Full Breakdown

City Code Sec. 5 lists nine specific places where stopping, standing or parking a registered motor vehicle or trailer is unlawful: on a sidewalk; within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection; on a railroad track; in front of or within 25 feet of a private driveway (except directly in front of residential driveways) or private-gated street and public street or alley intersections; within 15 feet of a fire hydrant; within 200 feet on the approach to a flashing or traffic-control signal at an intersection; within a right-turn deceleration lane, including its taper; within 25 feet of a fire station driveway entrance; and anywhere an official sign prohibits parking.

Notably, the driveway-proximity ban carves out an exception for residential driveways directly in front of the parked vehicle, so a car parked immediately in front of a house's own driveway is not automatically in violation of this particular 25-foot rule, though other city or state rules on blocking access still apply. Sec. 15-126 separately bans stopping, standing or parking on a long list of named streets wherever signs or pavement markings designate no-parking zones, and Sec. 15-129 caps parking on any street at 48 hours.

Under Sec. 15-102, any vehicle situated in violation of this parking division is declared a nuisance and is subject to impoundment, and it cannot be reclaimed until the owner proves ownership and pays the towing fee and storage costs.

Violations & Fines

Violations of Chapter 15 parking provisions default to the citywide general penalty in Sec. 1-15: a fine not exceeding $500.00 for offenses other than fire, zoning or health-and-sanitation violations, with each day a violation continues charged as a separate offense. A vehicle parked in violation may also be declared a nuisance and impounded under Sec. 15-102, with release conditioned on proof of ownership and payment of towing and storage costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park directly in front of my own driveway in Lewisville?
The 25-foot no-parking buffer around private driveways in Sec. 15-126.5 specifically excepts residential driveways, so parking immediately in front of your own driveway is not a violation of that particular rule, though signs or other code sections can still restrict it.
How close to a crosswalk can I park in Lewisville?
Sec. 15-126.5 makes it unlawful to stop, stand or park within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection. The same section also bars parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant and 200 feet of the approach to a flashing or traffic signal.
What happens if my car is towed for illegal parking?
Sec. 15-102 declares a vehicle parked in violation of this division a nuisance subject to impoundment. It will not be released until the owner proves ownership and pays the towing fee and any storage costs the city assesses.
