San Mateo County, CA Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

The Board of Supervisors shall designate such stopping, standing or parking restrictions or prohibitions as may be necessary, and shall designate said restrictions or prohibitions on such streets, portions of streets or County-owned property by appropriate signs or markings giving effect to such parking, stopping or standing restrictions or prohibitions. When authorized signs and/or curb markings are in place giving notice of such prohibition or limitation, no person shall stop, stand or park any vehicle in violation of such signs and/or curb markings. Whenever the stopping, standing or parking of a vehicle has been prohibited, restricted or limited as to time by an ordinance or resolution, the continued standing or parking of such vehicle after a citation therefor has been issued constitutes a separate and additional violation of the provisions for which the citation was issued when such standing or parking continues for an additional period longer than the maximum permissible period of parking in such space or location after issuance of such citation, or if no such period of time is designated, when such stopping, standing or parking after a citation therefor continues for an additional period longer than one hour.
