No one may park—or allow a vehicle to be parked—on a public street, alley, or right-of-way for the main purpose of:
- Displaying a vehicle for sale
- Greasing or repairing a vehicle (except for emergency repairs)
- Selling merchandise from a vehicle unless specifically authorized
- Using a vehicle for storage, junk, or dead storage for more than 15 hours
- Displaying advertising from a parked vehicle
- Parking or storing a vehicle for more than 72 consecutive hours
- Parking in a way that creates a traffic hazard or interferes with normal traffic flow
Why does this rule exist?
These rules help keep streets clear, safe, and available for their intended use—everyday travel and short-term parking. They also prevent abandoned vehicles, visual clutter, and unsafe conditions in neighborhoods.
Examples
- A car with expired registration parked on the street may be cited and even towed
- Leaving a vehicle parked in the same spot on the street for more than 72 hours is not allowed and is a citable offense
- Parking a car on the street to display the vehicle as for “For Sale” is not permitted
- Working on or storing a vehicle on the street is not allowed
