Tulare regulates on-street stopping, standing, and parking under Municipal Code Chapter 9.48 (Title 9 Traffic). The chapter governs commercial-vehicle limits, alley stops, state-highway parking, and removal of long-stay vehicles, layered on top of the California Vehicle Code.
Chapter 9.48 STANDING, STOPPING, PARKING is the primary local source for on-street parking rules in Tulare. Section 9.48.130 governs stopping in alleys, and § 9.48.150 imposes parking restrictions on state highways (Hwy 99/Hwy 137 segments through the city). Section 9.48.160 authorizes removal of any vehicle parked on a public street for 72+ consecutive hours, working in tandem with Cal. Vehicle Code § 22651(k). Section 9.48.210 designates preferential parking in commercial zones, and § 9.48.190 establishes school-zone preferential resident parking (no public parking 8:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m. on school days on designated streets). Standard CVC rules on red curbs, crosswalks, fire hydrants, and double-parking apply citywide.
Tulare PD issues parking citations under Chapter 9.48 and the CVC. A vehicle left over 72 hours, parked in a posted school zone during restricted hours, or blocking an alley is subject to citation and tow at owner expense per Cal. Veh. Code § 22651.
