Pittsburg, CA Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Pittsburg's on-street parking rules derive from the California Vehicle Code and Pittsburg Municipal Code Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic). Under CVC §22651(k), a vehicle parked on any public street for more than 72 consecutive hours may be cited, marked, and towed at owner expense. Pittsburg Police Department enforces this complaint-driven policy. Street sweeping occurs on posted schedules, and vehicles in violation receive parking citations (typically $50-$75). Residential permit parking districts exist near the BART station and other congested areas, requiring visible decals for parking beyond posted time limits. Commercial district parking is generally restricted overnight between 2 AM and 5 AM to deter long-term storage. Parking within 15 feet of fire hydrants, 20 feet of crosswalks, or blocking driveways is prohibited under CVC §22500. Vehicles cannot overhang sidewalks (CVC §22500(f)). Red, yellow, white, and green curb markings indicate restrictions. Disabled parking requires a valid DMV placard. Abandoned vehicles may be reported to police for investigation and removal under the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program.
