Worcester County, MD Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

In unincorporated Worcester County, Maryland, § PS 3-202 sets how a parked vehicle must sit. On a two-way roadway, the vehicle must be parallel to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway, with its right-hand wheels within twelve inches of that curb or edge. On a one-way roadway, it must be parallel to the curb or edge in the direction of authorized traffic, with either its right-hand wheels within twelve inches of the right-hand curb or its left-hand wheels within twelve inches of the left-hand curb.

The County Commissioners can permit angle parking on a roadway they have determined is wide enough to allow it without interfering with the free movement of traffic (§ PS 3-202(c)). Section PS 3-202(d) lets the County Commissioners place signs that prohibit or restrict stopping, standing or parking on any highway in their jurisdiction where it would endanger those using the highway or interfere unduly with traffic, and § PS 3-203 lets them create limited, paid or no parking zones by resolution, marked by a sign or a painted curb.

The companion list in § PS 3-201(a) covers blocked access: item (2) bars stopping, standing or parking in front of a public driveway, item (12) bars it in front of a private driveway without the consent of the owner or occupant, item (13) sets fifteen feet from a fire hydrant, item (14) sets thirty feet on the approach to a flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign or traffic control sign, and item (17) bars standing or parking on the roadway side of another vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb.
