Full Breakdown

Section 32-96 of the Pageland Town Code bars anyone from stopping, standing or parking a vehicle on a street or alley in such a manner or under such conditions as to leave available less than ten feet of the width of the roadway for free movement of vehicular traffic. The only exceptions are a driver stopping briefly to load or unload passengers, or stopping because a traffic regulation, sign or police officer requires it. On streets the town has posted as narrow with no-parking signage, parking is banned outright regardless of the ten-foot rule.

Section 32-97 sets the manner every legal parking spot must follow: vehicles must sit parallel to the roadway, facing the same direction as traffic, with the curbside wheels no more than 12 inches from the edge of the roadway, so parking against the flow of traffic, wrong-way parking, is a violation. 403) and remain in force.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park facing oncoming traffic in Pageland?
No. Section 32-97 of the Pageland Town Code requires every parked vehicle to sit parallel to the roadway and headed in the same direction as traffic, with its curbside wheels within 12 inches of the edge. Parking against the flow of traffic, commonly called wrong-way parking, violates this section and can draw a citation under the town's general penalty.
How much roadway has to stay open when I park on a narrow Pageland street?
Section 32-96 requires at least ten feet of roadway width to remain clear for vehicles to pass. If parking on either side of a narrow street would leave less than ten feet open, the town can post signs banning parking there entirely, and parking in a posted spot is a separate violation.
Can I stop briefly in a no-parking area to drop someone off?
Yes. Section 32-96 exempts a driver who stops temporarily to load or unload passengers, or who stops because a traffic sign, signal or police officer requires it. The exception covers only a brief stop, not standing or parking, so lingering beyond the drop-off still violates the section.
