Full Breakdown

Section 14-101, "General parking prohibitions," lists the places where a Woodbury driver may not stop, stand or park, except when necessary to avoid a traffic conflict or when directed otherwise by a police officer or traffic control device. The list bars parking on a sidewalk; in front of a public or private driveway; within an intersection; within ten feet of a fire hydrant; on a crosswalk; within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection; in a posted fire lane; within 30 feet of a flashing beacon, stop sign or traffic signal; within 50 feet of a railroad crossing; within 20 feet of a fire station driveway (75 feet on the opposite side of the street when posted); alongside a street excavation or obstruction where it would block traffic; on the roadway side of a vehicle already stopped at the curb; on a bridge or elevated structure; where signs prohibit stopping; in any alley; and on a curbed boulevard or berm.

, Monday through Saturday, in a way that would prevent United States Postal Service delivery, and requires that postal carriers be able to drive into and out of the delivery area without backing up. Adopted by Ordinance No. 1721 in 2001, § 14-101 works alongside Minnesota's own local-authority statutes for street parking, including Minn. 35, and the state's on-street parking penalty statute, Minn. 14.

Violations & Fines

Every prohibition in § 14-101, from blocking a driveway to parking within ten feet of a fire hydrant, is enforced as a petty misdemeanor, the section's stated penalty, rather than a full misdemeanor. A petty misdemeanor carries a fine of up to $100.00 under the city's general penalty section, § 26-4, with no jail exposure.
