Summary
Where Warner Robins has painted public parking spaces along the street, drivers get two hours in the space, not the general 12-hour street limit. Sec. 14-34 caps every marked on-street public space citywide at that two-hour maximum, and the rule applies wherever the city has striped a space, not just downtown.
Sec. 14-34. - On-street public parking; limitations. All on-street public parking, where provided by the city and delineated as such by appropriately-painted spaces, shall be limited to a maximum of two (2) hours. (Ord. No. 75-96, § 1, 10-7-96)
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 69).
Full Breakdown
Sec. 14-34 sets a flat two-hour cap on all on-street public parking that the city has provided and marked off with painted spaces. The limit is separate from, and shorter than, the general 12-hour street parking rule in Sec. 14-31, which covers unmarked street parking citywide; where the city has actually painted a space, the two-hour rule controls instead. The section was adopted by Ord. No. 75-96 in 1996 and has not been amended since. Chapter 14 also carries the state Uniform Rules of the Road by reference (Sec.
§§ 40-6-372 through 40-6-376), which is where the underlying prohibitions on double parking, blocking a driveway, and parking against the flow of traffic actually come from, since Article II of the local chapter does not restate those state rules itself. A related, now-repealed section (former Sec. 14-35) once barred commercial and heavy vehicles from parking on commercially or industrially zoned lots, but Ord. No. 5-13 struck it in 2013, so that restriction no longer applies. No dollar penalty is written into Sec. 14-34 itself, so enforcement falls to the Code's general penalty section.
Violations & Fines
Parking longer than two hours in a marked on-street public space is a violation of the general penalty, Sec. 1-7: a fine up to $1,000, up to 12 months in the city jail, or both, with each day of continued violation treated as a separate offense. Warner Robins police issue the citations.
