Parking violation

A parking violation is the act of parking a motor vehicle in a restricted place or for parking in an unauthorized manner. It is against the law virtually everywhere to park a vehicle in the middle of a highway or road; parking on one or both sides of a road, however, is commonly permitted. However, restrictions apply to such parking, and may result in an offense being committed. Such offenses are usually cited by a police officer or other government official in the form of a traffic ticket.

Examples

Parking violations include, but are not limited to:

  • Parking in a prohibited space such as a bus stop or in front of a fire hydrant or a driveway or a garage entrance.
  • Parking on a sidewalk (unless specifically allowed by signs).
  • Parking in or too close to or within a street crossing, railroad crossing or crosswalk.
  • Double parking.
  • Parking at a parking meter without paying, or for longer than the paid time.
  • Parking in a handicapped zone without an appropriate permit.
  • Many vehicle codes define it to be an infraction to park on the public byway without the vehicle being properly licensed and registered, with expired or missing license plates or license plate 'tabs', without proper safety vehicle inspection decal, etc.
