Parking on public roads in Madison County, including unincorporated county roads, is governed by the state traffic code. Ala. Code § 32-5A-137 bars stopping or parking on sidewalks, in intersections, on crosswalks, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, and other specified places.
Alabama's Rules of the Road apply on every public highway statewide, so the same parking prohibitions cover a Huntsville city street and an unincorporated county road near Gurley or Toney. Ala. Code § 32-5A-137 forbids stopping, standing, or parking on a sidewalk, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, on the roadway side of a parked vehicle, on a bridge, or on railroad tracks. It also bars standing or parking in front of a driveway, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk, and within 20 feet of a fire-station driveway.
Parking in a prohibited place under § 32-5A-137 is a traffic violation. Enforcing officers issue a citation, and a vehicle blocking a hydrant, driveway, or travel lane can be towed at the owner's expense.
