Parking violation
Summary
A parking violation is the act of parking a motor vehicle in a restricted place or 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.
Parking violations include, but are not limited to:
Parking in a prohibited space such as a bus stop, in front of a fire hydrant, a driveway, or a garage entrance.
Parking on a sidewalk (unless specifically allowed by signs).
Parking in, too close to, or within an intersection, 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.
Parking 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.
Parking without a zone permit in places where parking is severely impacted (such as a residential zone permit, issued to help preserve parking availability for those who live in the permit zone).
Parking without special permit, where one is needed (like a car park for employees of a company).
Parking with the parking permit or payment receipt not visible in the prescribed way, like upside down.
Parking on certain streets in a natural disaster when streets need to be cleared to allow fluid movement of emergency vehicles.
Parking at curb locations designated (usually through signage and/or curb or pavement painting) for special purposes such as passenger zones (for loading and discharge), commercial vehicle zones (for freight or service trucks and vans), police or government vehicle zones, etc.
Parking at locations during scheduled street sweeping.
