A.
No person shall park any vehicle at any time where no-parking signs
have been erected and/or where the curbs have been painted yellow
to indicate no parking.
B.
No person shall park a vehicle, or permit it to stand, whether attended
or unattended, in any of the following places:
(1)
Upon any bridge or in front of any theater or theater exit.
(2)
Within 30 feet upon the approach to any stop sign.
(3)
Within 15 feet of a fire hydrant.
(4)
On a crosswalk or within 20 feet of a crosswalk.
(5)
In front of a driveway (private or public) or garage.
(a)
This includes the drive approach apron or the alley radius.
The phrase "in front of" includes all that area wherein the presence
of a parked vehicle would obstruct free, safe exit from or entrance
to such driveway. It is found as a fact that a completely unobstructed
and safe exit from the entrance to such driveway in the light of the
driveway and street or alley widths and conditions associated therewith,
including turning and sight hazards, throughout the Borough of Middletown
requires that there be no parking within three feet on both sides
thereof.
(b)
The parking in front of a driveway thus prohibited includes
an area, along the curb or cartway of the street or alley with which
it connects, within three feet on both sides of the driveway. With
respect to such three-foot sections, enforcement may be implemented
in the light of practicalities reflected in the following severable
considerations. The resident owner (or tenant in possession with the
owner's permission) may paint the curb yellow in accordance with precise
measurement of said three-foot section and specifications provided
by the Code Enforcement Officer. Said owner, or tenant, may notify
the police of violations; and in the absence of such notice, the police
shall have no duty of surveillance, investigation or ticketing. The
only defense before the District Justice of one who parks a vehicle
so that it projects within or occupies such a three-foot section shall
be that such person had the consent of said owner or tenant.
(6)
Within an intersection or less than 25 feet from an intersection.
(7)
On a sidewalk.
(8)
On the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge
or curb of any street.

No vehicle, as defined in the Vehicle Code,[1] shall be permitted by an owner, operator or party in possession
thereof to stand or be parked upon any public street of the Borough

in the situations specified in the following Subsection A, and the
penalty for violation shall be as set forth in Subsection B hereof:
A.
Situations covered by this section are as follows:
(1)

other work or repairs, whereby the vehicle is immobilized for more
than 24 hours.
(2)
Parking or standing of a vehicle for or during work (or repairing)
involving the vehicle accompanied by or consisting of idling of motor
excessively or excessive emission of fumes, so as to annoy, disturb
or endanger unnecessarily the comfort, peace or repose of reasonable
persons with normal sensitivities.
(3)
Parking or standing of a vehicle for or during the draining or spilling
of antifreeze, oil, grease or any substance, including chemical substances
of any kind, deleterious to street paving or to public health, onto
street paving, or the introduction or action tending to introduction
of any such substance or any contaminant into the Borough storm drainage
system.
B.

provisions of this section shall, upon conviction thereof by a summary
proceeding, be sentenced to pay the costs in every case and a fine

and $100 for the third offense or for any subsequent offense; and
upon refusal to pay such fine and costs, to undergo imprisonment in
the Dauphin County Jail for a period not exceeding 10 days.
[1]
Editor's Note: See 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 101 et seq.
Wherever a space is marked off on any street for the parking
of an individual vehicle, every vehicle parked there shall be parked
wholly within the lines bounding that space, and it shall be a violation
of this article for any person to park a vehicle or allow it to remain
parked otherwise.
No person shall park a vehicle upon any of the streets or parts
thereof described below except at the angle designated and only within
