Montgomery County does not regulate on-street or residential parking. Streets are controlled by the borough or township (and PennDOT on state routes) under the PA Vehicle Code and local traffic ordinances. Permit zones, time limits, and street-cleaning rules are all municipal. County authority over parking is limited to its own
In Pennsylvania, on-street parking on local roads is governed by the municipality that owns the road, using powers delegated by the Vehicle Code (75 Pa.C.S.) and the Municipalities Planning Code. Boroughs like Norristown, Ambler, and Lansdowne run residential permit programs, meter zones, and posted time limits; townships post their own restrictions. On state highways within the county, PennDOT sets the rules. The county government itself has no jurisdiction over public streets. The only parking the county directly controls is in its parks, where vehicles may park in marked spaces only.
Street-parking tickets are issued by local police or parking enforcement; fines and towing follow the municipal fee schedule. Overtime, permit, and street-cleaning violations vary by borough or township.
