Westminster, CA Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

The City of Westminster controls on-street parking under Westminster Municipal Code Chapter 10.44 (Stopping, Standing and Parking) and Chapter 10.48 (Loading and Unloading). No person may park or store any motor or nonmotorized vehicle on a public street or dedicated alley for more than 72 consecutive hours; relocating a vehicle within two-tenths of a mile of a prior spot still counts as the same location for this rule. Curb color markings carry the force of law: red means no stopping, standing, or parking at any time (except as the Vehicle Code allows or for a marked bus zone); yellow means no parking from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. except for active loading; white is for passenger loading and unloading only; and green limits parking to 24 minutes between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. except Sundays and holidays. Westminster also restricts large vehicles citywide and enforces no-parking windows of up to eight hours on scheduled street-sweeping days in council-designated areas, with notice posted at neighborhood entrances. These city rules supplement the California Vehicle Code, which governs basic stopping and standing statewide. Always check posted signs and curb colors, as additional time limits and permit districts may apply on specific blocks.
