Full Breakdown
City Code § 20-53 lists the places where stopping, standing or parking a vehicle is unlawful anywhere in the incorporated city, except when necessary to avoid a traffic conflict or at an officer's direction. Under subsection (a)(2)a, no one may stand or park, even momentarily except to load or unload a passenger, in front of a public or private driveway. The same subsection bars parking within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant, within twenty feet of a crosswalk, within thirty feet of a flashing signal or stop sign, and along any curb painted red or yellow.
Subsection (b) governs which way a car must face: on a two-way street the right-hand wheels must sit parallel to and within twelve inches of the right-hand curb, and on a one-way street the vehicle must park parallel to the curb in the direction of authorized traffic movement, meaning a driver cannot park facing oncoming traffic. Enforcement runs through Titusville police officers and city parking enforcement specialists, who issue prenumbered citations under section 20-56. 1945, with civil penalties set on a graduated schedule that doubles if the fine is not paid before the city mails a certified notice, plus a flat ten-dollar surcharge on every ticket that funds the city's school crossing guard program.
A cited driver has ten days to pay or request a hearing before a traffic hearing officer under section 20-57; requesting a hearing and then skipping it exposes the driver to contempt proceedings. 1.
Violations & Fines
A first offense is a civil citation, not a criminal charge. Fines follow the schedule in section 20-55(a), ranging from $40 to $250 depending on the violation type, doubling if unpaid before certified-mail notice under sections 106-48 and 106-49 of the Brevard County Code, plus a $10 school-crossing-guard surcharge on every ticket. Each day a violation continues is a separate offense, and unpaid fines after 30 days can block state vehicle registration renewal.
