is being executed.
This subdivision shall not be construed to permit any vehicle to
stop or park upon a roadway in a direction opposite to that in which
traffic normally moves upon that half of the roadway on which such
vehicle is stopped or parked.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (b), local
authorities may, by ordinance, prohibit commercial vehicles from

The provisions of this subdivision shall not apply upon the
roadways of a divided highway.
22503. Local authorities may by ordinance permit angle parking on
any roadway, or left-hand parking upon one-way roadways of divided
highways, except that no ordinance is effective with respect to any
state highway until the proposed ordinance has been submitted to and
approved in writing by the Department of Transportation.
22503.5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, any
local authority may, by ordinance or resolution, establish special
parking regulations for two-wheeled or three-wheeled motor vehicles.

stop, park, or leave standing any vehicle, whether attended or
unattended, upon the roadway when it is practicable to stop, park, or
leave the vehicle off such portion of the highway, but in every
event an unobstructed width of the highway opposite a standing
vehicle shall be left for the free passage of other vehicles and a
clear view of the stopped vehicle shall be available from a distance
of 200 feet in each direction upon the highway. This section shall
not apply upon a highway where the roadway is bounded by adjacent
curbs.
(b) This section shall not apply to the driver of any vehicle
which is disabled in such a manner and to such extent that it is
impossible to avoid stopping and temporarily leaving the disabled
vehicle on the roadway.

district, it is necessary for the safety of pupils being transported
to and from schools to authorize a schoolbus stop at a place where
there is not a clear view of the stop from a distance of 200 feet in
each direction along the highway, such stop may be authorized by and
with the approval of the California Highway Patrol. The Department
of Transportation, in respect to state highways, and local
authorities, in respect to highways under their jurisdiction, shall
place sufficient signs along the highway to give adequate notice to
motorists that they are approaching such bus stops.
22505. (a) The Department of Transportation with respect to
highways under its jurisdiction may place signs or markings
prohibiting or restricting the stopping, standing, or parking of
vehicles, including, but not limited to, vehicles which are six feet
or more in height (including any load thereon), in any of the
following areas and under the following conditions:
(1) In areas where, in its opinion, stopping, standing, or parking
is dangerous to those using the highway or where the stopping,
standing, or parking of vehicles would unduly interfere with the free
movement of traffic thereon.
(2) In areas within one-half mile of the boundary of any unit of
the state park system which the Director of Conservation has
determined are unusually high fire hazard areas, upon notification of
the Department of Transportation of such determination by the
Director of Conservation.

the state park system which the county health officer has determined
are areas where a substantial public health hazard would result if

and to such an extent that it is impossible to avoid stopping,
parking, or leaving the disabled vehicle standing on the roadway.
22506. Local authorities may by ordinance or resolution prohibit or
restrict the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles on a state
highway, in their respective jurisdictions, if the ordinance or
resolution is first submitted to and approved in writing by the
Department of Transportation, except that where maintenance of any
state highway is delegated by the Department of Transportation to a
city, the department may also delegate to the city the powers
conferred on the department.
22507. (a) Local authorities may, by ordinance or resolution,
prohibit or restrict the stopping, parking, or standing of vehicles,
including, but not limited to, vehicles that are six 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. The ordinance or resolution
may include a designation of certain streets upon which preferential
parking privileges are given to residents and merchants adjacent to
the streets for their use and the use of their guests, under which
the residents and merchants may be issued a permit or permits that
exempt them from the prohibition or restriction of the ordinance or
resolution. With the exception of alleys, the ordinance or
resolution shall not apply until signs or markings giving adequate
notice thereof have been placed. A local ordinance or resolution
adopted pursuant to this section may contain provisions that are
reasonable and necessary to ensure the effectiveness of a
preferential parking program.
(b) An ordinance or resolution adopted under this section may also
authorize preferential parking permits for members of organizations,
professions, or other designated groups, including, but not limited
to, school personnel, to park on specified streets if the local
authority determines that the use of the permits will not adversely
affect parking conditions for residents and merchants in the area.
22507.2. Notwithstanding subdivision (e) of Section 22500, a local
authority may, by ordinance, authorize the owner or lessee of
property to park a vehicle in front of the owner's or lessee's
private driveway when the vehicle displays a permit issued pursuant
to the ordinance authorizing such parking.
The local authority may charge a nonrefundable fee to defray the
costs of issuing and administering the permits.
A local ordinance adopted pursuant to this section may not
authorize parking on a sidewalk in violation of subdivision (f) of
Section 22500.
22507.5. (a) Notwithstanding Section 22507, local authorities may,
by ordinance or resolution, prohibit or restrict the parking or
standing of vehicles on certain streets or highways, or portions
thereof, between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., and may, by
ordinance or resolution, prohibit or restrict the parking or
standing, on any street, or portion thereof, in a residential
district, of commercial vehicles having a manufacturer's gross
vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or more. The ordinance or
resolution relating to parking between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.
may provide for a system of permits for the purpose of exempting
from the prohibition or restriction of the ordinance or resolution
handicapped persons, residents, and guests of residents of
residential areas, including, but not limited to, high-density and
multiple-family dwelling areas, lacking adequate offstreet parking
facilities. The ordinance or resolution relating to the parking or
standing of commercial vehicles in a residential district, however,
shall not be effective with respect to any commercial vehicle making
pickups or deliveries of goods, wares, and merchandise from or to any
building or structure located on the restricted streets or highways
or for the purpose of delivering materials to be used in the actual
and bona fide repair, alteration, remodeling, or construction of any
building or structure upon the restricted streets or highways for
which a building permit has previously been obtained.
(b) Subdivision (a) of this section is applicable to vehicles

ordinance or resolution adopted pursuant to subdivision (a) of this
section may permit the parking of those vehicles which is otherwise
prohibited under this code.
(c) For the purpose of implementing this section, each local
authority may, by ordinance, define the term "residential district"
in accordance with its zoning ordinance. The ordinance shall not be
effective unless the legislative body of the local authority holds a
public hearing on the proposed ordinance prior to its adoption, with
notice of the public hearing given in accordance with Section 65090
of the Government Code.
22507.6. Local authorities may, by ordinance or resolution,
prohibit or restrict the parking or standing of vehicles on
designated streets or highways, or portions thereof, for the purpose
of street sweeping. No ordinance or resolution relating to the
parking or standing of commercial vehicles in a residential district
shall be effective with respect to any commercial vehicle making
pickups or deliveries of goods, wares, or merchandise from or to any
building or structure located on the restricted street or highway, or
for the purpose of delivering materials to be used in the repair,
alteration, remodeling, or reconstruction of any building or
structure for which a building permit has previously been obtained.
No such ordinance or resolution shall be effective until the street
or highway, or portion thereof, has been sign-posted in accordance
with the uniform standards and specifications of the Department of
Transportation, or local authorities have caused to be posted in a
conspicuous place at each entrance to the street a notice not less
than 17 inches by 22 inches in size, with lettering not less than
one inch in height, setting forth the day or days and hours parking
is prohibited. As used in this section, "entrance" means the
intersection of any street or streets comprising an area of
restricted parking for street-sweeping purposes on the same day or
days and hours with another street or highway not subject to such a
parking restriction, or subject to parking restrictions on different
days and hours.

the following places:
(1) On the lines marking the boundaries of a parking stall or
space designated for disabled persons or disabled veterans.
(2) In any area of the pavement adjacent to a parking stall or
space designated for disabled persons or disabled veterans that is
marked by crosshatched lines and is thereby designated, pursuant to
any local ordinance, for the loading and unloading of vehicles parked
in the stall or space.
(d) Subdivisions (a), (b), and (c) apply to all offstreet parking
facilities owned or operated by the state, and to all offstreet
parking facilities owned or operated by a local authority.

single stoplamp in the rear.
Members of the special enforcement unit may be paid an hourly wage
without the compensatory benefits provided other permanent and
temporary employees, but shall be entitled to applicable workers'
compensation benefits as provided by law. Insurance provided by the
local authority for disability or liability of a member of the
special enforcement unit shall be the same as for other employees
performing similar duties.
Nothing in this section precludes a local authority from using
regular full-time employees to enforce this chapter and ordinances
adopted pursuant thereto.
This section applies to all counties and cities, including every
charter city and city and county.
22508. Local authorities shall not establish parking meter zones or
fix the rate of fees for such zones except by ordinance. An
ordinance establishing a parking meter zone shall describe the area
which would be included within the zone.
Local authorities may by ordinance cause streets and highways to
be marked with white lines designating parking spaces and require
vehicles to park within the parking spaces.
No ordinance adopted by any local authority pursuant to this
section with respect to any state highway shall become effective

writing by the Department of Transportation. The proposed ordinance
shall be submitted to the department only by action of the local
legislative body and the proposed ordinance shall be submitted in
complete draft form.
Any ordinance adopted pursuant to this section establishing a
parking meter zone or fixing rates of fees for such a zone shall be
subject to local referendum processes in the same manner as if such
ordinance dealt with a matter of purely local concern.

police powers may adopt rules and regulations by ordinance or
resolution providing that no person driving, or in control of, or in
charge of, a motor vehicle shall permit it to stand on any highway

business or residence district without blocking the wheels of the
vehicle by turning them against the curb or by other means.
22510. (a) Local authorities may, by ordinance or resolution,
prohibit or restrict the parking or standing of vehicles on
designated streets or highways within their jurisdiction, or portions
thereof, for the purpose of snow removal. The ordinance or
resolution shall not be effective until the street or highway, or
portion thereof, has been sign-posted in accordance with the uniform
standards and specifications of the Department of Transportation, or
until the local authorities have caused to be posted in a conspicuous
place at each entrance to the street or highway, a notice not less
than 17 inches by 22 inches in size, with lettering not less than one
inch in height, setting forth the days parking is prohibited. The
signs shall, at a minimum, be placed on each affected street or
highway, at the boundary of the local authority, and at the beginning
and end of each highway or highway segment included in that area.
No person shall stop, park, or leave standing any vehicle, whether
attended or unattended, within the area marked by signs, except when
necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with
the directions of a traffic or peace officer.

affects a state highway shall be effective until it is submitted to,
and approved by, the Department of Transportation.

highways, may restrict the parking or standing of vehicles for
purposes of snow removal. The restrictions shall not be effective
until the highway, or portion thereof, has been posted with signs in
accordance with the uniform standards and specifications of the
department. No person shall stop, park, or leave standing any
vehicle, whether attended or unattended, within the area marked by
parking restriction signs, except when necessary to avoid conflict
with other traffic or in compliance with the directions of a traffic

22511. (a) Any local authority, by ordinance or resolution, and any
person in lawful possession of an offstreet parking facility may
designate stalls or spaces in an offstreet parking facility owned or
operated by that local authority or person for the exclusive purpose
of fueling and parking a vehicle that displays a valid zero-emission
vehicle (ZEV) decal identification posted on the driver's side rear
window or bumper of the vehicle or, notwithstanding any other
provision of law, if the vehicle does not have a rear window or
bumper, on the driver's side of the windshield issued by the
Department of Motor Vehicles pursuant to this section. The
designation shall be made by posting a sign in compliance with
subdivision (d) or (e).
(b) If posted in accordance with subdivision (d) or (e), the owner
or person in lawful possession of a privately owned or operated
offstreet parking facility, after notifying the police or sheriff's
department, may cause the removal of a vehicle from a stall or space
designated pursuant to subdivision (a) in the facility to the nearest
public garage if a valid ZEV decal identification issued pursuant to
this section is not displayed on the vehicle.
(c) If posted in accordance with subdivision (d), the local
authority owning or operating an offstreet parking facility, after
notifying the police or sheriff's department, may cause the removal
of a vehicle from a stall or space designated pursuant to subdivision

340, that is owned, leased, or approved for use by a public agency if
a valid ZEV decal identification issued pursuant to this section is
not displayed on the vehicle.
(d) The posting required for an offstreet parking facility owned
or operated either privately or by a local authority shall consist of
a sign not less than 17 by 22 inches in size with lettering not less
than one inch in height which clearly and conspicuously states the

is prohibited by the posting of a sign meeting the requirements of
paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 22658, the requirements
of subdivision (b) may be met by the posting of a sign immediately
adjacent to, and visible from, each stall or space indicating that a
vehicle not meeting the requirements of subdivision (a) will be
removed at the owner's expense and containing the telephone number of
the local traffic law enforcement agency.
(f) (1) For purposes of implementing this section, the Department
of Motor Vehicles shall make available for issuance, beginning July
1, 2003, for a fee determined by the Department of Motor Vehicles to
be sufficient to reimburse it for actual costs incurred pursuant to
this section, distinctive decals for zero-emission vehicles.
(2) The department shall design the decal, which shall be two
inches by two inches, and be placed on the driver's side rear window
or bumper of the vehicle, or, notwithstanding any other provision of
law, if the vehicle does not have a rear window or bumper, on the
driver's side of the windshield. Each decal shall display a unique
number. The decal may be provided to car dealers who sell electric
vehicles for distribution to ZEV purchasers.
(g) For purposes of this section, "zero-emission vehicle" means
any car, truck, or any other vehicle that produces no tailpipe or
evaporative emissions.
(h) Nothing in this section is intended to interfere with existing
law governing the ability of local authorities to adopt ordinances
related to parking programs within their jurisdiction, such as
programs that provide free parking in metered areas or municipal
garages for electric vehicles.
22511.1. (a) A person may not park or leave standing any vehicle in
a stall or space designated pursuant to Section 22511 unless a valid
zero-emission vehicle decal identification issued pursuant to
Section 22511 is displayed on that vehicle.
(b) A person may not obstruct, block, or otherwise bar access to
parking stalls or spaces described in subdivision (a) except as
provided in subdivision (a).

distinguishing placard issued under Section 22511.55 or 22511.59
shall be allowed to park for unlimited periods in any of the
following zones:
(A) In any restricted zone described in paragraph (5) of
subdivision (a) of Section 21458 or on streets upon which
preferential parking privileges and height limits have been given
pursuant to Section 22507.
(B) In any parking zone that is restricted as to the length of
time parking is permitted as indicated by a sign erected pursuant to
a local ordinance.
(2) Any disabled person or disabled veteran shall be allowed to
park in any metered parking space without being required to pay any
parking meter fees.
(3) This subdivision does not apply to any zone for which state
law or ordinance absolutely prohibits stopping, parking, or standing
of all vehicles, or which the law or ordinance reserves for special
types of vehicles, or to the parking of any vehicle that is involved
in the operation of a street vending business.
(b) Any disabled person or disabled veteran shall be allowed to
park a vehicle displaying a special identification disabled person
license plate or placard issued by a foreign jurisdiction with the
same parking privileges authorized in this code for any vehicle
displaying a special identification license plate or a distinguishing
placard issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
22511.55. (a) (1) Any disabled person or disabled veteran may apply
to the department for the issuance of a distinguishing placard. The
placard may be used in lieu of the special identification license
plate or plates issued under Section 5007 for parking purposes
described in Section 22511.5 when suspended from the rear view mirror
or, if there is no rear view mirror, when displayed on the dashboard
of a vehicle. It is the intent of the Legislature to encourage the
use of these distinguishing placards because they provide law
enforcement officers with a more readily recognizable symbol for
distinguishing vehicles qualified for the parking privilege. The
placard shall be the size, shape, and color determined by the
department and shall bear the International Symbol of Access adopted
pursuant to Section 3 of Public Law 100-641, commonly known as the
"wheelchair symbol." The department shall incorporate instructions
for the lawful use of a placard, and a summary of the penalties for
the unlawful use of a placard, into the identification card issued to
the placard owner.
(2) (A) The department may establish procedures for the issuance
and renewal of the placards. The placards shall have a fixed
expiration date of June 30 every two years. A portion of the placard
shall be printed in a contrasting color that shall be changed every
two years. The size and color of this contrasting portion of the
placard shall be large and distinctive enough to be readily
identifiable by a law enforcement officer in a passing vehicle.
(B) As used in this section, "year" means the period between the
inclusive dates of July 1 through June 30.
(C) Prior to the end of each year, the department shall, for the
most current three years available, compare its record of disability
placards issued against the records of the Bureau of Vital Statistics
of the State Department of Health Services, or its successor, and
withhold any renewal notices that otherwise would have been sent, for
any placard holders identified as deceased.
(3) Except as provided in paragraph (4), no person is eligible for
more than one placard at any time.
(4) Organizations and agencies involved in the transportation of
disabled persons or disabled veterans may apply for a placard for
each vehicle used for the purpose of transporting disabled persons or
disabled veterans.
(b) (1) Prior to issuing any disabled person or disabled veteran
an original distinguishing placard, the department shall require the
submission of a certificate, in accordance with paragraph (2), signed
by the physician or surgeon substantiating the disability, unless
the applicant's disability is readily observable and uncontested.
The disability of any person who has lost, or has lost use of, one or
more lower extremities or both hands, or who has significant
limitation in the use of lower extremities, may also be certified by
a licensed chiropractor. The blindness of any applicant shall be
certified by a licensed physician or surgeon who specializes in
diseases of the eye or a licensed optometrist. The physician or
person certifying the qualifying disability shall provide a full
description of the illness or disability on the form submitted to the
department.
(2) The physician or other person who signs a certificate
submitted under this subdivision shall retain information sufficient
to substantiate that certificate and, upon request of the department,
shall make that information available for inspection by the Medical
Board of California.
(3) The department shall maintain in its records all information
on an applicant's certification of permanent disability and shall

authorized to enforce parking laws, ordinances, or regulations,
present identification and evidence of the issuance of that placard

been parked in violation of the provisions of Section 22507.8.
(c) In addition to any other applicable penalty for the misuse of
a placard, the officer or parking enforcement person may confiscate a

subdivision to any private or other third-party parking citation
processing agency.
(b) Local authorities may establish a review board or panel, which
shall include a qualified physician or medical authority, for
purposes of reviewing information contained in the applications for
special parking privileges and the certification of qualifying

it shall be indicated by blue paint on the curb or edge of the paved
portion of the street adjacent to the space. In addition to blue
paint, the space shall also be indicated by signs or other suitable
means. In areas where snow or ice may obscure the blue paint, a
clearly visible sign appropriately designating the space is
sufficient for purposes of this section.
This section does not restrict the privilege granted to disabled
persons and disabled veterans by Section 22511.5.
22511.8. (a) Any local authority, by ordinance or resolution, and
any person in lawful possession of an offstreet parking facility may

any vehicle which displays either a special identification license
plate issued pursuant to Section 5007 or a distinguishing placard
issued pursuant to Section 22511.55 or 22511.59. The designation
shall be made by posting a sign as described in paragraph (1), and by
either of the markings described in paragraph (2) or (3):

with occupant in white on a blue background.
(2) By outlining or painting the stall or space in blue and
outlining on the ground in the stall or space in white or suitable
contrasting color a profile view depicting a wheelchair with
occupant.
(3) By outlining a profile view of a wheelchair with occupant in
white on a blue background, of the same dimensions as in paragraph
(2). The profile view shall be located so that it is visible to a
traffic enforcement officer when a vehicle is properly parked in the
space.
(b) If posted in accordance with subdivision (d) or (e), the owner
or person in lawful possession of a privately owned or operated
offstreet parking facility, after notifying the police or sheriff's
department, may cause the removal of a vehicle from a stall or space
designated pursuant to subdivision (a) in the facility to the nearest
public garage unless a special identification license plate issued
pursuant to Section 5007 or distinguishing placard issued pursuant to
Section 22511.55 or 22511.59 is displayed on the vehicle.
(c) If posted in accordance with subdivision (d), the local
authority owning or operating an offstreet parking facility, after
notifying the police or sheriff's department, may cause the removal
of a vehicle from a stall or space designated pursuant to subdivision
(a) in the facility to the nearest public garage unless a special
identification license plate issued pursuant to Section 5007 or a
distinguishing placard issued pursuant to Section 22511.55 or

(d) Except as provided in Section 22511.9, the posting required
for an offstreet parking facility owned or operated either privately
or by a local authority shall consist of a sign not less than 17 by
22 inches in size with lettering not less than one inch in height
which clearly and conspicuously states the following: "Unauthorized
vehicles not displaying distinguishing placards or license plates
issued for physically handicapped persons will be towed away at owner'
s expense. Towed vehicles may be reclaimed at
______________________________________ or by telephoning
(Address)
_______________________________________________________."
(Telephone number of local law enforcement agency)
The sign shall be posted in either of the following locations:
(1) Immediately adjacent to, and visible from, the stall or space.
(2) In a conspicuous place at each entrance to the offstreet
parking facility.
(e) If the parking facility is privately owned and public parking
is prohibited by the posting of a sign meeting the requirements of
paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 22658, the requirements
of subdivision (b) may be met by the posting of a sign immediately
adjacent to, and visible from, each stall or space indicating that a
vehicle not meeting the requirements of subdivision (a) will be
removed at the owner's expense and containing the telephone number of
the local traffic law enforcement agency.

that is used for the loading and unloading of disabled persons may
park in not more than two adjacent stalls or spaces in any public
off-street parking facility when loading or unloading disabled
persons, if there is no single parking space immediately available
within that facility that is suitable for that purpose including, but
not limited to, when there is not sufficient space to operate a
vehicle lift or ramp or there is not sufficient room for a disabled
person to exit the vehicle or maneuver once outside the vehicle.
22511.9. Every new or replacement sign installed on or after
January 1, 1992, relating to parking privileges for disabled persons
shall refer to "disabled persons" rather than "physically handicapped
persons" or any other similar term, whenever such a reference is
required on a sign.
22511.10. The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the
following:
(a) Two and one-half million Californians suffer from some form of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Those persons who are not in
wheelchairs have difficulty walking long distances.
(b) Encouraging those with physical disabilities to engage in
activities outside of the home promotes better health and
self-esteem, thereby lowering health costs.
(c) Placing disabled person parking spaces closest to the main
entrances of buildings does not cost taxpayers, but provides
accessibility to the physically disabled.
(d) It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting Section
22511.11, to direct the Office of the State Architect to propose
regulations that require disabled person parking spaces to be located
on the shortest accessible route of travel to an accessible entrance
or exit of a building or parking facility.
22511.11. (a) The Office of the State Architect shall propose
regulations specifying the location of disabled person parking stalls
or spaces designated pursuant to Section 22511.8, for parking

issued on or after October 1, 1993. In specifying the placement of
those stalls or spaces near buildings or facilities and within
parking structures, consideration shall be given to the special
access needs of disabled persons.
(b) The Office of the State Architect shall submit the regulations
proposed pursuant to subdivision (a) to the State Building Standards
Commission on or before July 1, 1993, for approval, adoption, and

construction, operation, removal, or repair of the utility or public
utility property or facilities upon, in, over, under, or adjacent to
a highway, bicycle lane, bikeway, or bicycle path or trail, or of a
vehicle, whether privately, municipally, or publicly owned, if
warning devices are displayed and when the vehicle is engaged in
authorized work on the highway, bicycle lane, bikeway, or bicycle

owner or operator of a disabled vehicle or requested to perform the
service by a law enforcement officer or public agency pursuant to
that agency's procedures.
(c) It is a misdemeanor for the owner or operator of a tow truck
to move any vehicle from a highway, street, or public property
without the express authorization of the owner or operator of the
