Roswell, GA Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

1 defines "park" or "parking" as the standing of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, other than temporarily while actually loading or unloading passengers, meaning a driver who is genuinely dropping someone off is not "parked" for enforcement purposes. 2 gives the chief of police authority to impose a limited parking time or prohibit parking on any street or portion of a street whenever traffic conditions or safety warrant it; the transportation department implements each restriction by posting a sign on the affected street or block, so a stretch of curb is only regulated once signage goes up, not by the ordinance alone.

5 separately lets the director of transportation, with the chief of police's written concurrence, place regulatory traffic control devices under the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices on city-owned streets. 3 lets any sworn police or code enforcement officer who determines a parked vehicle impedes traffic or public safety have it removed by a private towing contractor, with the vehicle owner responsible for the towing and storage fees. 7 (added by Ord. No. 2019-07-23, effective July 8, 2019), including civil fines for exceeding posted time limits in those zones. 3 rather than setting its own fine.
