Mesquite generally permits on-street parking on residential streets where signage and curb markings do not prohibit it. Vehicles must be parked parallel to the curb in the direction of travel, within 18 inches of the curb, and may not block fire hydrants (15-foot clearance), driveways, mailboxes, intersection sight triangles, or crosswalks.

Violations can result in citations starting around $25 and escalating for repeat offenses. Two-hour and time-limit zones near downtown and commercial corridors must also be observed.
