If a vehicle is left unattended upon a bridge, viaduct, or causeway or in a tube or tunnel where the vehicle constitutes an obstruction to traffic. (b) If a vehicle is parked or left standing upon a highway in a position so as to obstruct the normal movement of traffic or in a condition so as to create a hazard to other traffic upon the highway. (c) If a vehicle is found upon a highway or public land and a report has previously been made that the vehicle is stolen or a complaint has been filed and a warrant thereon is issued charging that the vehicle was embezzled. (d) If a vehicle is illegally parked so as to block the entrance to a private driveway, and it is impractical to move the vehicle from in front of the driveway to another point on the highway.
Full Breakdown
Compton does not have STR-specific parking rules because short-term rentals are largely prohibited in residential zones. All properties are subject to the parking provisions of CMC Chapter 12 (Traffic Regulations). Vehicles may not be parked in front yards or unfenced side yards for more than 72 consecutive hours without a permit from the Traffic Committee. The new preferential parking permit district (Ordinance 2298) in the Richland Farms area requires all vehicles on city streets to display a valid permit, enforced 24 hours. Parking permits are available at City Hall, 205 S. Willowbrook Ave.
Violations & Fines
Parking violations are infractions under CMC Chapter 12. Vehicles in violation are subject to citation and towing per California Vehicle Code Section 22651.
