Regulations and Rules. It is not easy to understand parking regulations. Every city, town and village has different rules and regulations. Streets should have signs hanging on poles which indicate exactly when cars may park on them, but they won't always. Police and parking department employees may actually make chalk marks on your car's tires so they can later determine if you have been parked for too long.
Many communities have regulations that prohibit the parking of cars on the streets overnight.
In many cases, the only warning you have of these regulations are small signs at the borders of the communities. Be careful of this. Handicapped parking spaces allow people who have difficulty getting around to park close to stores and other public areas. These people have special license plates. Police will give tickets to anyone else parking in the spaces.
