Summary

Existing law authorizes local authorities, by ordinance or resolution, to prohibit or restrict the stopping, parking, or standing of vehicles, including, but not limited to, vehicles that are 6 feet or more in height, including any load thereon, within 100 feet of any intersection, on certain streets or highways, or portions thereof, during all or certain hours of the day. Existing law requires, with the exception of alleys, that the ordinance or resolution does not apply until signs or markings giving adequate notice thereof have been placed. Existing law authorizes a peace officer, or a regularly employed and salaried public employee who is engaged in directing traffic or enforcing parking laws and regulations, to remove a vehicle located within the territorial limits in which the officer or employee is allowed to act under specified and enumerated circumstances, including when a vehicle is parked or left standing where local authorities by resolution or ordinance have prohibited parking and have authorized the removal of vehicles. Existing law also requires that a vehicle may not be removed unless signs are posted giving notice of the removal. This bill would authorize a local authority, in lieu of posting signs that prohibit or restrict the stopping, parking, or standing of vehicles, to provide notice by issuing a warning citation advising the registered owner of the vehicle that he or she may be subject to a notice of violation for a subsequent violation and that a subsequent violation may result in the impounding of the vehicle. The bill would provide that a local authority is not required to provide any further notice for a subsequent violation prior to impounding a vehicle in violation of a local ordinance or resolution authorizing removal of the vehicle.
