Summary
Manteca bars parking wherever the city has posted signs or painted curb markings for no-stopping, no-parking, or restricted zones, and caps any single stretch of on-street parking at 72 consecutive hours.
The city traffic engineer is authorized to maintain, by appropriate signs or by paint upon the curb surface, all no stopping zones, no parking areas, and restricted parking areas, as defined and described in this chapter. When said curb markings or signs are in place no operator of any vehicle shall stop, stand or park such vehicle adjacent to any such legible curb marking or sign in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: rev 4829770; v11 updated 2026-04-21).
Full Breakdown
Manteca Municipal Code § 10.44.030 authorizes the city traffic engineer to establish no-stopping zones, no-parking areas, and restricted parking areas through signs or curb paint, and bars stopping, standing, or parking against any such legible marking. Separately, § 10.44.050 prohibits parking any vehicle on a city street or alley for more than a consecutive 72-hour period. Together these are Manteca's baseline on-street parking rules, layered on top of the more specific restrictions elsewhere in Chapter 10.44 for narrow streets, school zones, and fire stations.
Violations & Fines
No penalty is specified in these sections, so violations default to Manteca's general infraction penalty under § 1.16.010: up to $100 for a first offense, rising to $500 for repeat violations within 12 months.
