On streets marked with painted parking lines, you must park within the lines, parallel, and within 18 inches of the curb. Signed streets carry posted restrictions, and the city bans several streets from parking anytime or on school days.
Code Sec. 32-130 requires parking within any painted lines, parallel, with the vehicle within 18 inches of the curb or pavement edge. Sec. 32-131 lists specific streets where parking is prohibited (some anytime, many only on school days 7-9 a.m. and 2-4 p.m. near schools like Liberty Middle) and sets a $25 scheduled penalty for violations. Sec. 32-129 defines parking as stopping or standing a vehicle other than temporarily for loading, unloading, or obeying traffic signs.
Sec. 32-131 sets a scheduled penalty of $25.00 for parking on a restricted street, payable to the court clerk magistrate; the municipal judge may adjust the penalty.
