Summary

Ogden City bans stopping, standing, or parking in intersections, on crosswalks, or on sidewalks, and bars parking in front of any driveway, within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant, or within twenty feet of a crosswalk at an intersection. Section 10-5-1 sets these citywide default rules, enforced by the Ogden Police Department regardless of whether the spot is separately signed.

10-5-1: PROHIBITED PARKING; GENERALLY: ... Except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic, or in compliance with law or the directions of a police officer or official traffic control device, no person shall: A. Stop, stand or park a vehicle: 1. On the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb of a street; ... 3. Within an intersection; 4. On a crosswalk; ... ... B. Stand or park a vehicle, whether occupied or not, except momentarily to pick up or discharge a passenger or passengers: 1. In front of a public or private driveway; 2. Within fifteen feet (15') of a fire hydrant; 3. Within twenty feet (20') of a crosswalk at an intersection.

Full Breakdown

Section 10-5-1 of Ogden City Code lays out the city's baseline no-parking rules that apply on every public street whether or not a location is separately signed. Subsection A bars stopping, standing, or parking on the roadway side of another parked vehicle, on a sidewalk, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, alongside a street excavation that would obstruct traffic, on a bridge or in a highway tunnel, on railroad tracks, on a controlled access highway, or in the median area of a divided highway. Subsection B adds a second tier of location-based bans that allow only a momentary stop to pick up or drop off a passenger: in front of any public or private driveway, within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant, within twenty feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, within thirty feet of the approach to a stop sign, yield sign, or traffic signal, and within twenty feet of a fire station driveway (extending to seventy five feet on the opposite side when posted).

Subsection D makes it separately unlawful to move an unauthorized vehicle into any of these prohibited zones or an unlawful distance from the curb. These citywide prohibitions apply in addition to, not instead of, location-specific restrictions posted under sections 10-5-2 through 10-5-4 for all-times no-parking zones, restricted-hours zones, and time-limited spaces. The Ogden Police Department enforces section 10-5-1 and may cite or, under section 10-5-24, relocate a vehicle that is creating a danger to persons or property.

Violations & Fines

A vehicle stopped, standing, or parked in violation of section 10-5-1, such as blocking a driveway or sitting within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant, is subject to citation by the Ogden Police Department and may be impounded as a public nuisance vehicle under section 10-8-1 if it is unattended and obstructs traffic or firefighting access. Officers may also relocate a dangerously parked vehicle under section 10-5-24 without a citation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park in front of my neighbor's driveway in Ogden?
No. Section 10-5-1(B) prohibits standing or parking in front of any public or private driveway, allowing only a momentary stop to pick up or drop off a passenger. Parking there for any longer period is a citable violation even if no sign is posted at that specific driveway.
How close to a fire hydrant can I park in Ogden?
You must stay at least fifteen feet from a fire hydrant under section 10-5-1(B)(2). The only exception is a momentary stop to pick up or discharge a passenger; standing or parking closer than that distance while unattended violates the ordinance regardless of whether the curb is painted.
Does Ogden tow cars parked illegally on the street?
Yes. Section 10-8-1 lets police treat a vehicle parked in violation of title 10, including the section 10-5-1 prohibitions, as a public nuisance that can be summarily removed and impounded, and section 10-5-24 separately authorizes an officer to move a vehicle that endangers persons or property.
