Full Breakdown

City code lists exact places you can't stop, stand, or park on a Rockwall street: the roadway side of a car already at the curb, sidewalks, intersections, crosswalks, near safety zones, alongside street excavations, on bridges, on railroad tracks, and wherever a sign prohibits it. A separate section requires leaving at least ten feet of roadway open for traffic. Several named streets, including Summer Lee Drive and stretches of South Lakeshore Drive, carry outright no-parking designations. Violations are misdemeanors enforced by the police department, and vehicles left in violation over 24 hours can be towed and impounded.
