parking violations

Illegal curbside stops

Parking violations are infractions of rules governing where and how vehicles may be parked.

Common violations include overstaying a meter, parking in a handicapped space without authorization, blocking a fire hydrant, or leaving a vehicle in a no-parking zone.

Most result in tickets and fines rather than criminal charges: I got three parking violations last month.
