Posted: 7/5/2008 2:19:52 AM | | Private Parking Lots are Private Property. It is up to the property owner or it's agent to enforce their version of the rules. You are merely a guest or visitor on their property. Sure they have to follow ADA guidelines however cite me the section of the CVC (california vehicle code) where it says one can not park in a red zone on private property. | |

That's not really relevant to a discussion of parking in fire lanes. Private or not you can be ticketed for violating fire lane rules.
cite me the section of the CVC (california vehicle code) where it says one can not park in a red zone on private property.
You make it so easy:
CVC 22953 (b)
Notwithstanding subdivision (a), a vehicle may be removed
immediately after being illegally parked within 15 feet of a fire
hydrant, in a fire lane, in a manner that interferes with an entrance
to, or an exit from, the private property, or in a parking space or
stall legally designated for disabled persons.
CVC 22500.1. In addition to Section 22500, no person shall stop, park,
or leave standing any vehicle, whether attended or unattended, except
when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance
with the directions of a peace officer or official traffic control
device along the edge of any highway, at any curb, or in any location
in a publicly or privately owned or operated off-street parking
facility, designated as a fire lane by the fire department or fire
district with jurisdiction over the area in which the place is
located.
The designation shall be indicated (1) by a sign posted
immediately adjacent to, and visible from, the designated place
clearly stating in letters not less than one inch in height that the
place is a fire lane, (2) by outlining or painting the place in red
and, in contrasting color, marking the place with the words "FIRE
LANE", which are clearly visible from a vehicle, or (3) by a red curb
or red paint on the edge of the roadway upon which is clearly marked
the words "FIRE LANE".

Posted: 7/5/2008 6:39:26 PM | Several years ago I was the manager of a large apartment complex in Renton, Washington. It had very narrow back exits with painted red curbs. Cars were continually parking in the fire lanes and I had great delight in calling out the tow truck and having them towed. I got into several near fights doing this, because once the tow truck has the hook on the bumper of the car, it is his. I always gave a phone call and a warning first, but for repeat offenders, I towed them with glee.
The apartment complex is responsible for keeping the fire lanes clear at all times and were subject to huge fines by the fire department if not done. The fire trucks would cruise through unannounced checking that they were indeed kept clear, because if a car was parked in the fire lanes, the fire truck could not get through.
It is selfish people who will endanger the live of others for their own convenience. | |

You asked for the citation. So why now complain about getting it? (It wasn't exactly a lot of my time to find the law)

Really? All it takes is: a red curb or red paint on the edge of the roadway upon which is clearly marked the words "FIRE LANE". Most lots around here have been able to do that much.
But even without the law the point is that it is quite rude to block the disabled access ramps because one is too lazy to actually park. | |
