illegal parking
Unlawful vehicle placement
Illegal parking is the act of leaving a vehicle in a place where parking is prohibited by law or regulation.
This includes parking in no-parking zones, blocking fire hydrants, occupying handicapped spaces without authorization, or exceeding time limits on metered spots.
I got a ticket for illegal parking outside the courthouse.
The consequences typically range from fines to towing, depending on the severity and jurisdiction.
