Lima permits on-street parking except where prohibited by signs, markings or Codified Ordinance 452.03, which bars parking in intersections, on crosswalks, within ten feet of a fire hydrant and within twenty feet of a crosswalk at an intersection.
Chapter 452 of Lima's Traffic Code governs street parking. Section 452.01 requires vehicles to park off the traveled roadway where practicable and leave a 200-foot clear view. Section 452.03 lists prohibited standing or parking places, mirroring Ohio Revised Code 4511.68: no parking within an intersection, on a crosswalk, within twenty feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, or within ten feet of a fire hydrant. Downtown metered and time-limited zones are separately regulated under Chapters 454 and 452, and Lima Police actively enforce posted time limits.
Parking violations are handled under Chapter 404; illegally parked or repeat-offender vehicles may be ticketed, booted or impounded.
