On-street parking in South Fulton is governed by Georgia's Uniform Rules of the Road (O.C.G.A. 40-6-200 to 40-6-203), which the city Code of Ordinances (Title 8) supplements. Vehicles must park with the right-hand wheels within 12 inches of the curb, and parking is barred in specified hazardous locations.
South Fulton's street-parking framework rests on Georgia state law, which the city's Title 8 (Traffic and Vehicles) supplements. Under O.C.G.A. 40-6-200, every vehicle stopped or parked on a two-way roadway must be parked with its right-hand wheels parallel to and within 12 inches of the right-hand curb (or as close as practicable to the right edge of the shoulder); one-way roadways allow parking within 12 inches of either curb in the direction of travel. O.C.G.A. 40-6-203 prohibits stopping, standing, or parking on a sidewalk, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, or at any place where official signs prohibit it. The city's Title 8 adds local restrictions: it prohibits standing, stopping, or parking in any manner that creates or could create a traffic hazard or impedes traffic flow, and on any public road or street less than 21 feet wide curb-to-curb. The city also operates a resident/HOA request process for posting No-Parking and parking-enforcement signs on residential streets.
Parking too far from the curb, in a prohibited location, or contrary to a posted sign is enforced by the South Fulton Police/Code Enforcement. Local hazard or narrow-street violations under Title 8 carry escalating fines; citations may be disputed through the city's parking-citation dispute process and heard in municipal court.
