Full Breakdown
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.
Violations & Fines
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.
