Prescott Valley, AZ Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Parking on public streets in the Town of Prescott Valley, Arizona runs through Article 11-03 of the Town Code. Section 11-03-010 sets the basic method: except as otherwise provided by the Chapter, every vehicle stopped or parked upon a roadway with adjacent curbs must be stopped or parked with its right hand wheels parallel to and within eighteen (18) inches of the right hand curb.

Section 11-03-020 covers blocking. Subsection A bars stopping, standing or parking any motor vehicle or other vehicle on a street so as to inhibit the free movement of vehicular, bicycle or pedestrian traffic, with exceptions for a temporary stop to load or unload passengers or to follow traffic signs or the signals of a Peace Officer. Subsection B bars parking in an alley or in the entrance to a private driveway except for loading or unloading of materials, and then only if the work can be done without blocking the alley to the free movement of vehicular traffic.

Signed restrictions come from Section 11-03-040. The Town Engineer or designee, upon approval by the Town Council, can erect signs requiring angle parking, allowing parking on the left hand curb on one-way streets, notifying drivers that parking is prohibited, and restricting parking in any other necessary way. No restriction takes effect until the area is designated by resolution of the Town Council and signs are up, and no person may stop or stand in disobedience. Section 11-03-030 adds a school rule: where signs are posted, no parking on that side of the street adjacent to school property from one (1) hour before school opens until one (1) hour after it closes on any school day. Section 11-03-050 bans parking on sidewalks.

Accessible spaces fall under Section 11-03-060. Only vehicles carrying a person with a valid placard or international symbol of access plates can use them, with a momentary exception for loading or unloading a disabled person. A law enforcement officer or a parking enforcement specialist appointed by the Chief of Police can issue a civil traffic complaint to the operator, another person in charge, or the registered owner, with sanctions set in A.R.S. 28-885(A).
