Full Breakdown

Woodland Municipal Code § 10.08.030 bars an operator from stopping, standing, parking or leaving a vehicle standing in 15 specified places, unless avoiding a traffic conflict or following a police officer's or sign's direction. They include divisional islands not signed for parking (A); either side of a street between projected property lines of a public work or thoroughfare marked by red curb paint (B); any spot the Traffic Engineer marks as a hazard (C) or the Council designates by resolution (D); across railway tracks (E); anywhere parking would endanger life or property (F); streets closed for cleaning, repair, construction or utility work if signs went up at least 24 hours ahead (G); within 20 feet of a safety zone's midblock curb point (H); within 25 feet of a crosswalk (I) or of a traffic signal or boulevard stop sign (J), except a bus at a designated stop; posted City property (K); 'in a private driveway or on private property without the direct or implied consent of the owner or person in lawful possession of such driveway or property' (L); on any sidewalk (M); unpermitted on City park grounds (N); and on an unpaved residential front yard not designed for parking (O). The rule traces to Prior Code § 14-6-2 and sits in Chapter 10.08, enforced by the Woodland Police Department.

Violations & Fines

Parking in a marked no-parking zone, blocking a private driveway without the owner's consent, parking on a sidewalk, or parking on an unpaved residential front yard all violate Woodland Municipal Code § 10.08.030 and draw a citation from the Woodland Police Department; each listed location in subsections A through O is independently enforceable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can someone park across my driveway in Woodland?
No. Woodland Municipal Code § 10.08.030(L) bars parking 'in a private driveway or on private property without the direct or implied consent of the owner or person in lawful possession of such driveway or property.' The Woodland Police Department can cite a vehicle blocking a driveway without the owner's consent.
Can I park on my front yard in Woodland?
Not unless it is paved and designed for parking. Section 10.08.030(O) bans parking 'on any front yard in a residential zone which is not paved and designed for parking purposes,' so an unpaved lawn or landscaped strip cannot be used as a parking spot even on your own property.
How close to a crosswalk can I park in Woodland?
Not within 25 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection when that distance is marked by signs or red curb paint, under § 10.08.030(I). A bus may still stop there if it is a designated bus stop.
