San Diego cracking down on cars left in street parking spots for more than 3 days

The goal, council members say, is to address a complaint they frequently get from residents

San Diego is planning a crackdown on cars and trucks left parked on the street for more than 72 hours, which for many years has been the No. 1 complaint the city gets from residents. While it’s against state law and city code to leave a vehicle in the same spot for more than three days, San Diego officials say they struggle to enforce the rule because some people simply move their vehicle a short distance to avoid a ticket.

Residents can’t complain about a vehicle unless it’s been in the same spot for at least three days. Once a resident does complain, police issue a warning and must wait three more days to tow the vehicle — if it doesn’t get moved by then. Aides to Gloria said Wednesday that the rule change would reduce parking scarcity, free up spaces for businesses in some areas and make neighborhoods more attractive and safer — especially for pedestrians and cyclists.
