Full Breakdown
Sec. 34-32 of the Satellite Beach City Code lists the places a vehicle cannot stop, stand or park absent an emergency, law compliance, or a police or parking-enforcement officer's direction. Among the prohibited spots: in front of a public or private driveway or occupied parking space, within an intersection or crosswalk, on a bridge or elevated structure, in a posted fire lane, or anywhere official signs prohibit stopping. Sec. 34-33 separately governs how a legally parked vehicle must sit: on a two-way street, the right-hand wheels must be parallel to and within 12 inches of the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway; on a one-way street, the vehicle must park on the right side in the direction of authorized traffic unless signs say otherwise, again within 12 inches of the curb.
That requirement effectively bars parking against the flow of traffic, since a vehicle facing the wrong way would have its right-hand wheels on the wrong side of the road. A police officer or parking enforcement specialist who finds a violation can issue a ticket to the driver or attach it to an unattended vehicle under Sec. 34-32(c). Sec. 34-34 sets the penalty schedule and Sec. 34-36 through 34-38 govern how citations are processed, contested before the city's special magistrate or a county judge, and how owner liability attaches when someone else was driving.
Violations & Fines
Sec. 34-34 sets a $25.00 civil penalty for violations of Sec. 34-32(a)(1) locations such as blocking a driveway, and of Sec. 34-33's curb-parking requirement. The penalty rises by $15.00 if unpaid by the 11th day and by $25.00 more if unpaid by the 21st day; a contested citation goes to the city's special magistrate or, for state-law citations, a county judge who may impose up to $100.00 plus court costs.
