Street parking in Upland is governed by Title 10 of the Municipal Code plus the California Vehicle Code. Vehicles may not block parkways or median strips, park where signs or curb markings prohibit it, or stay over 72 hours. The City Manager sets posted time limits and marks curbs; driveway, sidewalk, and hydrant rules follow state law.
Upland's parking rules sit in Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) of the Municipal Code, which supplements the California Vehicle Code rather than duplicating it. Chapter 10.36 covers stopping, standing, and parking for certain purposes or places: for example, Section 10.36.020 prohibits stopping, standing, or parking within any parkway or median strip except as otherwise provided, and Section 10.36.040 lists no-parking areas. Chapter 10.40 designates specific streets and city-owned lots where parking is restricted or prohibited. The City Manager (or designee) is authorized to establish time limits for parking on any city street and to post signs, install meters, and mark curbs or pavement to indicate those limits. Beyond local rules, the everyday prohibitions most drivers encounter โ blocking a driveway, parking on a sidewalk, double parking, or stopping within 15 feet of a hydrant โ are enforced under California Vehicle Code Section 22500. A separate citywide rule bars leaving any vehicle on the street more than 72 consecutive hours. Watch for posted street-sweeping signs, which prohibit parking during the designated sweeping window.
Parking contrary to posted signs, curb markings, or the parkway/median rules in Chapter 10.36, or on a restricted street under Chapter 10.40, results in a parking citation. Statewide violations (blocking driveways, hydrants, sidewalks) are cited under CVC 22500. Vehicles left over 72 hours may be tagged and towed.
