Moreno Valley prohibits obstructing public sidewalks with merchandise, signs, vehicles, or overgrown landscaping, with ADA requiring at least 48 inches of unobstructed pedestrian path at all times.
Moreno Valley municipal code and Public Works right-of-way rules prohibit placing obstructions on public sidewalks that interfere with pedestrian travel or ADA accessibility. This includes merchandise displays by retailers, permanent A-frame signs without permits, stored materials, parked vehicles blocking the walkway at driveways, and overgrown shrubs or tree branches hanging below seven feet of vertical clearance. Property owners must trim vegetation on their side to keep sidewalks and curbs clear. Vehicles parked across sidewalks at driveways are a common violation subject to parking citations.

Temporary obstructions for construction or events require encroachment permits with pedestrian detour plans.
