NO OVERNIGHT PARKING HAS ARRIVED

TICKET, TOW...WHERE'D MY CAR GO?

After years of hard work, West Adams Avenues has finally been granted "No Overnight Parking." (2:00 AM to 6:00 AM that is)

Many of you may have noticed the signs being posted on your Avenue, and yes, also on 23rd Street and 25th Street.

To find out all of the IMPORTANT information you need to know, read below.

WEST ADAMS AVENUES OVERNIGHT PARKING DISTRICT

On May 22, 2012 the Los Angeles City Council established Overnight Parking District (OPD) No. 545 in the Avenues of West Adams. This district is bounded on the North by Santa Monica 10 Freeway, East by Arlington, South by Adams Boulevard and West by Crenshaw. 

If you park your car on a street where the new signs are posted, you will need to purchase a permit for that vehicle. Any vehicle parked on a street with a posted sign (see left) will be ticketed. ENFORCEMENT BEGINS AUGUST 20.

FAQ's

What does the permit do for me?

Permits will exempt vehicles with a valid permit from "No Parking, 2AM to 6AM, District No. 545 Permits Exempt" parking restrictions. However, vehicles with permits are NOT exempt from any other restriction such as Street Cleaning, fire hydrants, commercial vehicle restrictions, driveway blockage, or red curb restrictions.

Do I need a permit with a Disabled Person Placard?

Vehicles with disable person placards/license plates do not require a permit if the placard is displayed properly.

Permit Types and Fees

Resident Permit (Maximum of 3 per dwelling unit): the cost of these permits is $15.00 per permit and are good for a maximum period of 12 months. This permit is a sticker; which is permanently affixed to the rear driver's side bumper or driver's side rear window of your vehicle and can be used to park anywhere within the District. To qualify for a Resident permit, the vehicle must be registered to your OPD address. If it is a company vehicle, a letter from your employer confirming the license number of the vehicle and that it is assigned to you must be presented.

You are required to present the vehicle registration for each vehicle for which you are purchasing a Resident Permit.

Visitor Permit (Maximum of 2 per dwelling unit): The cost of these permits is $10.00 per permit, and are valid for 4 months from date of purchase. This can be used on any vehicle and is valid within the entire district. This permit must be hung from the rear-view mirror of the vehicle. Lost or stolen Visitor permits cannot be replaced until they expire.

Guest Permit (Maximum of 25 permits per day per dwelling unit) Guest permits cost $1.00 per permit and they can also be purchased by mail, in-person, or online. This permit is placed on the dashboard of the vehicle and is only valid on the "date of use" which is stamped onto the permit.

Finally, Visitor and Guest permits are exclusively for the use of the residents and their guests. Penalty for violation of this requirement is loss of permit parking privileges for a period of one year.
