On-street parking in Ontario is governed by Title 4, Chapter 6 of the Ontario Municipal Code together with the California Vehicle Code. Drivers must obey all posted signs and curb markings, observe a citywide 72-hour limit, and follow posted street-sweeping no-parking hours.
Ontario regulates curb parking under the Traffic chapter of the Municipal Code (Title 4, Chapter 6). Section 4-6.1003 requires obedience to all official parking signs and curb markings, and no vehicle may stop, stand, or park in violation of a posted restriction. Section 4-6.1011 imposes a citywide 72-hour limit: a vehicle may not remain parked on any street, alley, or City-owned lot for 72 or more consecutive hours, and moving the vehicle a short distance does not reset the clock. The City has rolled out street-sweeping parking restrictions with posted signage, and citations are issued to vehicles left in the sweeping path during the posted hours. Painted curbs follow the standard California color code (red = no stopping, blue = disabled, etc.), and where the local code is silent the California Vehicle Code controls.
Posted-sign, curb-marking, and street-sweeping violations are parking infractions enforced by City Code Enforcement and Ontario PD; vehicles left more than 72 consecutive hours may be cited and towed under California Vehicle Code section 22651(k). Fines are set by the City's bail/penalty schedule and unpaid citations can result in a DMV registration hold.
