Do Not Park On/Across A Public Sidewalk In City Of Claremont

Press release from the City of Claremont:

February 10, 2022

Parking a vehicle on or across a public sidewalk is not just illegal, but makes sidewalks less safe and accessible, especially to those in wheelchairs, the visually impaired, or those pushing strollers. California Vehicle Code Section 22500 prohibits the stopping or parking of a vehicle, whether attended or unattended, on any portion of the sidewalk. A vehicle parked in violation of this law can be cited and/or towed. The purpose of this law is to ensure the safe passage of you and your neighbors while using the sidewalk. The Police Department’s parking enforcement officers will be keeping an eye out for violators of this law. Please respect the law and help us keep the sidewalks clear.
