On-street parking in Union City is governed by Chapter 10.36, which sets a 72-hour limit, no-parking-during-street-sweeping zones, curb-color rules and a 2 a.m.-6 a.m. ban on large and non-motorized vehicles. Downtown metered streets and residential permit districts add their own time limits.
Under Chapter 10.36 no one may park on any street or alley for more than 72 consecutive hours. Curb colors control stopping: red means no stopping at any time; yellow marks loading zones; white marks passenger loading zones. Posted no-parking signs apply during street-sweeping hours in designated neighborhoods (enforced under 10.36.050(G)). Large and non-motorized vehicles such as boat trailers may not park on any City street between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. Downtown metered streets have a 4-hour limit, and five residential permit districts (Decoto, Dowe Avenue, Granger Avenue, near Logan High School, Tamarack Drive) require a permit during posted hours. The California Vehicle Code also applies on all city streets.
Overtime, street-sweeping, curb-color and permit-district violations are parking infractions enforced by the Police Department's parking enforcement; vehicles left over 72 hours may be cited and towed.
