On-street parking is legal where not signed otherwise. Where signs are posted, no person may park at any time on designated streets except Sundays and public holidays, and unregistered or uninspected vehicles may not stand on any street.
Utica's Motor Vehicles and Traffic Code (Chapter 2-16, Article VII) sets on-street parking rules. On streets in the 'no parking at all times' schedule (Section 2-16-360), when signs are erected no person may park at any time except Sunday and public holidays. Section 2-16-202 makes it unlawful to park any unlicensed, unregistered or uninspected motor vehicle or motorcycle on any street, sidewalk, or between the sidewalk and curb. Alley parking (Section 2-16-206) must leave at least 10 feet of roadway clear and may not block an abutting driveway. Time-limited and district restrictions apply where posted.
Base parking fine is $50; it rises to $100 if unpaid within 72 hours and $125 if unpaid after a further 10 days. Illegally parked vehicles may be towed at the owner's expense.
