A vehicle on a South Bend public street must be moved at least every three days or it can be tagged as abandoned. Downtown metered zones and snow-clearing rules also apply.
Indiana sets no statewide street-parking time limit, so South Bend's applies: a vehicle left in the same spot on a public street must be moved at least every three days (72 hours) or it can be tagged and towed as abandoned. Downtown areas use metered and time-limited parking enforced by the parking division. Vehicles must be parked in the direction of travel and cannot block driveways, alleys, crosswalks, or fire hydrants. After snow, property owners must clear adjacent sidewalks within 24 hours, and vehicles should not impede plowing on posted routes.
Meter and time-limit tickets run roughly $20-$50. A vehicle left over three days can be red-tagged and towed at the owner's expense. Hydrant and obstruction violations carry higher fines.
