Parking in the District

General parking regulations

We regulate parking in the District to ensure that all of our streets remain safe and accessible to residents, businesses, and visitors.

    • a stop sign or crosswalk (6 meters required)
    • a fire hydrant (5 meters required)
    • a driveway (2 meters required)
    • a lane (3 meters required)
  • leaving a trailer unattached on a highway
  • parking your vehicle in one place for over 72 hours
  • parking, standing, or stopping in a no stopping zone
