Santee, CA Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Section 10.10.230 lists the specific places where signed or marked stopping, standing, or parking is prohibited: within 20 feet of a safety zone's mid-block end, within 25 feet of an intersection or curb return, within 20 feet of an approach-side crosswalk, within 25 feet of a traffic signal or stop sign, and along either side of a driveway or crosswalk in a way that blocks access to it. Extended 50-foot buffers apply in front of hospital driveways, Sheriff's substation driveways, and fire stations housing motorized equipment.

Buses are carved out of these prohibitions under subsection B when a spot is signed or marked as a bus loading zone. Subsection C adds a City-specific rule for larger vehicles: an RV or any vehicle over eight feet tall or wide cannot stop within 50 feet of an intersection or marked crosswalk at a signed gateway entrance identified in the City's General Plan. Separately, Santee Municipal Code § 10.10.215(C) makes it unlawful to stop, stand, or park facing opposite the flow of traffic on either side of a one-way street, and § 10.10.235 requires at least 10 feet of clear, unobstructed roadway opposite any parked vehicle on a highway in a business or residential district. The City Traffic Engineer signs and marks these locations, and Development Services and the Sheriff's Santee Station enforce them by citation.
