Port St. Lucie, tracking Florida law, prohibits stopping or parking on sidewalks, in intersections and crosswalks, in front of any public or private driveway, and within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. Parking in a residential swale without the owner's permission is also barred.
Port St. Lucie's parking prohibitions in Section 72.01 adopt and extend Florida Statute 316.1945. No vehicle may stop, stand, or park on a sidewalk, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, on railroad tracks, in a fire lane, or in the swale of a residential property without the owner's permission. Except momentarily to load or unload a passenger, a vehicle may not stand or park in front of a public or private driveway, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, or within 30 feet of a stop sign or signal. Unincorporated county streets follow the same state stopping-and-parking law.
Illegally parked vehicles receive a written notice of violation; the standard parking fine is $25, and vehicles may be removed at the owner's expense (handicapped-space violations are $250).
