Eastvale, CA Public Conduct: Loitering Rules (2026)

19 bars two things on any median: lingering or loitering, and soliciting. ' Subsection (f)(2) separately bars soliciting on a median or in any manner inconsistent with the California Vehicle Code. 040 defines 'linger or loiter' precisely: staying on a median for longer than two traffic signal cycles, except in an emergency. A 'median' is defined as any painted, paved, raised concrete, or planted area of a public right-of-way that divides a street according to direction of travel. 010(e) explain the safety rationale: soliciting or standing on median strips and at intersections distracts drivers, increases collision risk, and can back up traffic.

The rule applies citywide wherever a median exists and is not limited to any particular street or intersection. Because the chapter was adopted under the city's police power (Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution) and upheld against free-speech challenges in Los Angeles Alliance for Survival v. City of Los Angeles, Eastvale enforces the median rule the same way it enforces the chapter's other location bans, without a separate permit or warning requirement before citation.
