Street parking is regulated under Venice Code Ch. 70 (Traffic and Vehicles), Article II (Stopping, Standing and Parking). Sec. 70-34 governs parking on public property and authorizes posted time limits, no-parking zones, and downtown meter zones.
Downtown Venice operates a two-hour free street-parking program along Venice Avenue and the surrounding blocks, enforced by Venice Police. Posted signs control loading zones, handicap stalls, and time-limited zones. Sec. 70-34 also authorizes the public works director to designate restricted zones. Outside posted zones, parking against the flow of traffic, within 15 feet of a hydrant, or within 30 feet of a stop sign mirrors Fla. Stat. 316.1945. The downtown parking map is published on the City's website.
Parking citations are issued under Ch. 70. Penalties typically range from $25 to $100 per violation depending on the infraction, with handicap-zone violations as high as $250 under Fla. Stat. 316.1955.
