Important Reminder About Parking On The Sidewalk
From Kevin Welsh, EE HOA Board
This is an important reminder to our residents...it's illegal to park anywhere that blocks the sidewalk...subject to a fine. Below are Arizona State and Pima County Statutes....
It is a violation of State law and County ordinance to park on or block an area of the sidewalk with any part of a vehicle including a trailer hitch. Violators are subject to a fine of not more than $250.
Arizona Revised Statute 28-873.
Stopping, Standing, or Parking prohibitions:
A. Except if necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or if in compliance with law or the directions of a police officer or traffic control device, a person shall not stop, stand or park a vehicle in any of the following places:
1. On a sidewalk.
2. In a private driveway if any part of the vehicle or an attachment to the vehicle, including a hitch or trailer, blocks an area of a sidewalk and impedes continuous pedestrian use of the sidewalk in a manner that is not consistent with the Americans with disabilities act as defined in section 41-1492. This paragraph does not apply if the vehicle is temporarily parked for the purposes of loading or unloading the vehicle
