Suffolk sets street parking by signage and City Code Sec. 86-106: no parking on sidewalks, within 15 feet of a hydrant, within 20 feet of an intersection, or facing traffic. Waived fines run $15 to $25.
Suffolk regulates on-street parking through posted signs and the general rules in Chapter 86, Article IV. Sec. 86-106 prohibits parking on a sidewalk, in front of a private driveway, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant or fire-station entrance, and within 20 feet of an intersection's curblines. Sec. 86-107 bars parking against the flow of traffic. Time limits, no-parking zones, and metered zones (operating 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. except Sundays) apply where signed. The city manager may post temporary no-parking signs for snow, leaves, or debris removal, requiring vehicles to move within two hours.
Time-limit and meter violations are a waivable $15 penalty; hydrant, driveway, and fire-lane violations are $25. Unpaid citations become a fine up to $50 after five days, and vehicles may be towed.
