Wyandotte County, KS Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Section 35-477 groups Wyandotte County's core no-stopping and no-parking rules into three tiers by how much leeway a driver gets. Absolute no-stopping spots, where even a momentary stop is barred except to avoid a conflict with traffic or comply with a police officer, include the roadway side of another parked car, sidewalks, intersections, marked crosswalks, within 30 feet of a safety zone's curb ends, alongside street excavations or obstructions, bridges, elevated structures, highway tunnels, railroad tracks, controlled-access highways, and medians of divided highways. A second tier allows a driver to stop only long enough to pick up or drop off a passenger, but not to stand or park: in front of any public or private driveway, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, within 30 feet of the approach to a flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign or traffic signal, and within 20 feet of a fire station driveway (75 feet on the opposite side of the street, if posted).

A third tier permits temporary stops only for actual loading or unloading: within 50 feet of a railroad crossing, and in any fire lane the fire chief has officially designated, whether on public or private property. Signs can add further no-parking or no-standing zones under § 35-486. Moving another person's vehicle into any of these prohibited spots, or moving it an unlawful distance from a curb, is also barred under § 35-477(b).
