Full Breakdown
Clark County Code § 14.40.030 lists the no-park zones for unincorporated county roads: sidewalks, in front of any public or private driveway, intersections, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, crosswalks, and within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, among others. Section 14.40.040(a) requires parked vehicles' right-hand wheels to sit parallel to and within 18 inches of the right-hand curb, which bars parking facing oncoming traffic. This governs the unincorporated townships, including Paradise and Winchester, home to the Las Vegas Strip, not the City of Las Vegas.
Violations & Fines
Illegally stopped or parked vehicles may be moved by a police officer under § 14.40.020, and cars parked in violation are subject to citation; abandoned vehicles left in these zones can be towed after a 72-hour warning notice under § 14.40.045.
