(k) If a vehicle is parked or left standing upon a highway for 72 or more consecutive hours in violation of a local ordinance authorizing removal.
(l) If a vehicle is illegally parked on a highway in violation of a local ordinance forbidding standing or parking and the use of a highway, or a portion thereof, is necessary for the cleaning, repair, or construction of the highway, or for the installation of underground utilities, and signs giving notice that the vehicle may be removed are erected or placed at least 24 hours prior to the removal by a local authority pursuant to the ordinance.
Full Breakdown
Under Reedley Municipal Code Section 6-2-4, no person may park or leave standing any vehicle upon any sidewalk, curb, street, or alley of the city for more than a continuous period of 96 hours. Any member of the Reedley Police Department authorized by the Chief of Police may remove such vehicles in the manner and subject to the requirements of the California Vehicle Code. This is distinct from the 72-hour limit on private residential property. Street parking must also comply with standard California Vehicle Code provisions including maintaining clearance from fire hydrants (15 feet), driveways, crosswalks, and intersections. Parking within a 10-foot area adjacent to and behind the curb is considered part of the public right-of-way and is not considered a yard or driveway for residential storage purposes. The city may designate specific no-parking zones, loading zones, and time-limited parking areas through posted signage per RMC Section 6-2-6 parking lot regulations and related traffic provisions.
Violations & Fines
Vehicles left beyond 96 hours may be towed by police per California Vehicle Code procedures. Parking violations are typically handled through citations with fines set by the city's fee schedule. Tow and storage fees are the vehicle owner's responsibility.
