Parking stall rules for marked street spaces

(a) The director of transportation services is authorized and directed to establish, mark, and designate, where there is an apparent need therefor, a consecutive series of parking stalls for the parallel or angle parking of motor vehicles or for other uses authorized in § 15-22.2 and in Chapter 14, Article 18 upon any street. (b) Wherever parking stalls are so established, marked off, and designated, the driver of any vehicle, excepting only single vehicles of a greater length or width, shall park the vehicle completely within a designated stall. (c) Except as otherwise permitted by law, if on-street parking stalls or spaces are established, marked off, and designated along any street block, it is unlawful for the driver of any vehicle to park the vehicle on any portion of the street block, other than in a stall or space so established, marked off, and designated for parking. (d) Except as otherwise permitted by § 15-13.11 , wherever parking stalls are so established, marked off, and designated, each stall is for the use of a single vehicle only and it is unlawful for the driver of any vehicle to park the vehicle in a stall already occupied by another vehicle. (e) The term “street block” as used in this section means one side of any street, the length of the side extending between two consecutive intersections; or, in the case of a dead-end street, one side of the dead-end street, the length of the side extending between the dead-end and the nearest intersection. (f) Except as otherwise permitted by law, if on-street parking stalls or spaces are established, marked off, and designated along any street block, it is unlawful for any person to obstruct the stall or space so established, marked off, and designated for parking along the street block. )
