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

Redding's on-street parking framework layers state statute and local code. (1) State baseline: California Vehicle Code §22500 prohibits stopping, standing, or parking on sidewalks, in front of public or private driveways, within an intersection, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, on the wrong side of the road, in marked crosswalks, or in any place where official signs prohibit. CVC §22507 authorizes local time-limited restrictions, CVC §22651(k) authorizes tow after 72 consecutive hours, and CVC §22511 reserves posted EV-charging spaces. (2) Redding Municipal Code Chapter 11.24 sets the City's on-street prohibitions, including residential parking permit areas under §11.24.340 designed to keep neighborhood streets available for residents, downtown Redding airport parking under §11.24.330, and overall framework for enforcement. (3) Enforcement: Redding Police Department's Traffic Division and Parking Enforcement officers issue citations; the City uses chalk marking and Marked Vehicle Card procedures (RPD Policy 507) to enforce the 72-hour rule. (4) Downtown: the City of Redding Parking and Transportation Department manages downtown public parking lots and time-limited on-street spaces. Curb colors follow standard California conventions: red = no stopping at any time; yellow = loading; white = passenger pick-up/drop-off; blue = disabled parking only with placard or plate; green = short-term time-limited parking.
