Summary
Orem caps continuous parking in the same on-street location at 72 hours (Orem City Code 19-3-6), and Utah state law (UCA 41-6a-1402) requires vehicles to be parked with the right-hand wheels parallel to and within 12 inches of the curb on a two-way roadway.
A vehicle stopped or parked on a two-way roadway shall be stopped or parked with the right-hand wheels parallel to and within 12 inches of the right-hand curb, or as close as practicable to the right edge of the right-hand shoulder. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a person may not stop, stand, or park a vehicle in violation of the restriction indicated by traffic-control devices. The Department of Transportation, with respect to highways under its jurisdiction, may place traffic-control devices prohibiting or restricting the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles on a highway where, in its opinion, the stopping, standing, or parking is dangerous to those using the highway or where the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles would unduly interfere with the free movement of traffic.
Full Breakdown
On-street parking in Orem is governed by both the Orem City Code (Chapter 19, Article 3, Stopping, Standing and Parking) and the Utah Traffic Code. Orem City Code 19-3-1 makes it unlawful to disobey City signs or curb markings (red means no stopping, standing or parking at any time; yellow restricted-zone markings limit parking as posted). Orem City Code 19-3-2 prohibits double parking, and 19-3-3 prohibits parking so as to leave less than ten (10) feet of roadway width for free traffic movement. Orem City Code 19-3-6 makes it unlawful to park any vehicle in the same on-street location for a continuous period exceeding seventy-two (72) hours. Statewide, Utah Code 41-6a-1402 sets the basic curb-parking standard and authorizes traffic-control devices that prohibit or restrict stopping, standing, and parking; a violation is an infraction.
Violations & Fines
Vehicles parked contrary to posted signs, curb markings, or the 72-hour limit are subject to citation by Orem Police and may be impounded under Orem City Code Chapter 19, Article 4 (Impounding). A violation of the Utah parking statute is a traffic infraction.
