Walk It Through: The Parking Spot
The distances a parked car keeps, the signs a private lot posts, and who may order a tow.
A driver looks for a spot near a corner with a fire hydrant, a crosswalk and a stop sign.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
One driver and one shopping center lot. Local parking limits, police ordered impounds, abandoned and junk vehicles, and city fee schedules are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
