Wylie, TX Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Chapter 110, Article VI of the Wylie Code of Ordinances governs stopping, standing and parking on city streets, and § 110-173 lists where a vehicle simply cannot stop. Subsection (b) bars standing or parking, except momentarily to pick up or discharge a passenger, in front of a public or private driveway, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, within 30 feet on the approach to a flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign or traffic control signal, within 20 feet of a fire station driveway (75 feet on the opposite side of the street), or wherever an official sign prohibits standing.

Subsection (a) separately bans stopping on the roadway side of an already-parked vehicle, on sidewalks, in intersections, on crosswalks, near safety zones, alongside street excavations, on bridges or elevated structures, and on railroad tracks. Direction matters too: § 110-178 requires a vehicle to stand or park parallel with the curb, headed in the direction of lawful traffic movement, with its right-hand wheels within 18 inches of the curb or roadway edge, unless the street is one-way and signed to allow left-side parking. Section 110-171 makes proof that a vehicle was parked illegally, combined with proof of who the registered owner was at the time, a prima facie presumption that the owner is the violator, and § 110-172 lets the chief of police have an illegally parked, abandoned or disabled vehicle towed and stored, with an impounding fee assessed before release under the fee schedule in appendix C.

An owner has 30 days from the date of storage to reclaim an impounded vehicle by proving ownership and paying the storage and impounding charges.
