Non-Moving Violations

As most people who live in or visit large urban areas

know, finding a legal place to park can often be

a problem, particularly if signs are unfamiliar and

confusing. Nonetheless, it is every driver’s duty to

observe all parking laws and, if ticketed for violation of a

non-moving restriction, to pay all fines incurred. Failure

to pay these fines will result in the non-renewal of your

vehicle registration.

Parking Zone Violations

Some residential areas have designated parking zones.

Typically, if you do not live in the area and therefore do

not have the appropriate zone sticker or permit on your

vehicle, you may be subject to a ticket and fine if you

park in a designated location.

Meter Violations

Make sure you insert enough money into the parking

meter for the amount of time you will be parked in

that spot. Permissible meter times can range from 10

minutes to two hours or more. If your meter time expires

before you return and move your car, you may be

ticketed and will be responsible to satisfy the ticket.

Be aware that even in areas with meters, there may be

restrictions on parking and/or standing that are enforced

only during the “rush” hours.
