parking

Parking tickets or citations may be issued to the owner of a motor vehicle when the vehicle is parked illegally. For example, a parking ticket may be issued to the owner of a vehicle parked:

• in front of a fire hydrant

• in front of an expired parking meter

• in a no parking zone

• in a place that blocks a sidewalk

• too close to the curb

Parking tickets are nonmoving violations that usually have less serious fines and penalties than moving violations. For example, in many states a parking ticket may not cause penalty points to be added to your driver’s license or record.

In Alaska (AK), parking tickets or citations are issued to the owner of a motor vehicle found to be parked in violation of local parking regulations. Common violations that result in parking tickets include parking in front of a fire hydrant, at an expired parking meter, in a no parking zone, in a manner that blocks a sidewalk, or too close to the curb. These are considered nonmoving violations and typically carry less severe fines and penalties compared to moving violations. In Alaska, parking tickets generally do not lead to penalty points being added to the vehicle owner's driver's license or driving record. However, unpaid parking tickets can lead to increased fines and may result in the vehicle being booted or towed. Local municipalities have specific ordinances that detail the exact fines and procedures for handling parking violations.
