Oregon, OH Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

03(a) of the Codified Ordinances lists nineteen places where standing or parking a vehicle is prohibited on any street within the City of Oregon, Ohio, and blocking a driveway is item (2): no one may stop or park in front of a public or private driveway except while obeying a police officer or a traffic control device. The same subsection also bars parking on a sidewalk or street lawn, within an intersection, within ten feet of a fire hydrant, within a crosswalk or within twenty feet of one at an intersection, within thirty feet of a stop or yield sign, within fifty feet of a railroad crossing, within one foot of another parked vehicle, and on center islands, medians or freeway roadways.

04(c)(1)A forbids parking a vehicle facing a direction other than the flow of travel on that side of the street, so nosing into a spot against oncoming traffic is itself a separate violation; the only carve-out is for a motorcycle backing into an angled parking space. 02 makes the registered owner of the vehicle's license plate prima facie liable for an unlawful parking citation, so a ticket follows the plate even if someone else was driving. 03(b): a first offense is a minor misdemeanor, a second offense within one year of the first is a fourth-degree misdemeanor, and any further offense within that same year escalates to a third-degree misdemeanor.

01 to have an unattended vehicle towed to the nearest garage or place of safety when it obstructs traffic on a street, bridge, causeway or in a tunnel.
