Tempe regulates on-street parking through posted signs and citywide rules. Vehicles may not park on unpaved surfaces or landscaped areas. Most residential streets allow parking but may have time limits, permit requirements, or restrictions near ASU campus.
Tempe City Code governs on-street parking throughout the city. Vehicles must be currently registered and operable. Parking in the same spot for more than 72 consecutive hours may constitute an abandoned vehicle. Areas near Arizona State University have special parking restrictions and permit zones. The city enforces parking rules through Tempe Police and parking enforcement officers.
Parking violations result in citations with fines varying by offense. Vehicles parked illegally may be towed at the owner's expense. Abandoned vehicles are subject to removal after 72 hours.
