Queen Creek Town Code Sec. 9-7-9 requires a vehicle parked on a curbed roadway to sit with its right-hand wheels parallel to and within 18 inches of the curb. Sec. 9-7-5 bans stopping or parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, in a fire lane, or in any posted no-parking area. Most parking violations are civil traffic offenses.
On-street parking in Queen Creek is governed by Article 9-7 of the Town Code. Section 9-7-9 (Parking Near Curbs) provides that, except as otherwise posted, a person who stops or parks on a roadway with adjacent curbs must do so with the vehicle's right-hand wheels parallel to and within eighteen inches of the right-hand curb. Section 9-7-5 (Stopping, Standing, or Parking Prohibited) bars stopping, standing, or parking on public or private property within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant, in any designated fire lane, in any area posted as prohibiting stopping/standing/parking, or within a marked school crossing zone. Section 9-7-3 prohibits parking on a public sidewalk, and Section 9-7-4 prohibits parking on a public landscaped area or over curbs on a public street. Most of these are civil traffic offenses (parking on landscaping or curbs is a civil offense). Under Section 9-7-10, each day a continuing violation occurs is a separate offense, and a vehicle involved in a violation may be towed at the owner's expense. Chapter 11 (Traffic), Article 11-4, confirms that parking obligations are set in Article 9-7. State law (A.R.S. 28-871 et seq.) also applies to stopping, standing, and parking on highways.
Common violations include parking more than 18 inches from the curb (Sec. 9-7-9), parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant or in a fire lane (Sec. 9-7-5), parking on a public sidewalk (Sec. 9-7-3), and parking on landscaped areas or over curbs (Sec. 9-7-4). These are civil traffic or civil offenses; each day a continuing violation occurs is a separate offense and the vehicle may be towed (Sec. 9-7-10).
