Section 23-14 limits this authority to public roads and rights-of-way in the unincorporated areas; the Broward Sheriff's Office enforces citations under § 23-16. Related sections separately bar parking on sidewalks (§ 23-19.1) and blocking driveways within alleys (§ 23-19(b)).

Citation issued by the Sheriff's Office or designated enforcement officer; vehicles blocking a driveway, parked wrong-way against traffic, or stopped on private property without consent are subject to ticketing under §§ 23-15 and 23-16.
