Union, NY Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Chapter 191 of the Town of Union Code, Vehicles and Traffic, handles street parking in Article IX. Section 191-12 sets the baseline: the article applies except when a driver has to stop to avoid conflict with other traffic or is following the directions of a police officer or an official traffic control device.

Section 191-14 is the core no-parking rule. Subsection A prohibits parking in a long street-by-street table that names the street, the side and the stretch covered, for example Argonne Avenue (north side) east of Kent Avenue to a point 600 feet east, and Avenue B (both sides) from Main Street to Pearl Street. Subsection B covers driveways: parking is prohibited on any public street within up to five feet of any driveway as posted by the Highway Superintendent. The driveway rule therefore attaches to the locations the Highway Superintendent has posted.

Section 191-15 adds a separate table of streets where parking is prohibited during specified hours. Sections 191-16 and 191-17 carry their own standing and stopping tables, and the stopping table includes school-hour entries such as Pruyne Street, south side, 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Section 191-18 bans parking on July 4 for the Town's festivities at Highland Park along both sides of Farm-to-Market Road from Hooper Road to Hillside Terrace, among other stretches.

Winter rules are separate. Section 191-19 imposes alternate side parking from November 1 to April 1 of each year on listed streets, including Alice Avenue, Leona Street and Seward Avenue. Section 191-24 bars unattended parking on any Town street, highway or county highway within the Town whenever snow has fallen and covers the street, until the street has been plowed by or at the direction of the Town Highway Department. The Highway Superintendent posts signs at the main entrances to the Town between November 15 and April 15.

Under § 191-21, a vehicle parked on a highway where stopping, standing or parking is prohibited can be removed by the Town of Union Highway Department, and § 191-22 lets the Town store it at the owner's expense.
