Parking of vehicles on the paved and traveled portions of county and state highways within the Village is hereby forbidden.
Parking of vehicles on paved areas of Village streets is hereby forbidden, except that nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to prevent the Police Department from granting temporary permission, upon the request of a resident, and such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld, for guest parking to be permitted in front of and about such resident's premises if no driveway space is available for the purpose, but in no event shall overnight parking of vehicles be permitted on any street within the Village.
No vehicle shall be parked on any street within the Village within 30 feet of any street intersection.
Vehicles parked on Village streets shall be parked so that they shall not interfere with the ingress to or egress from driveways in the vicinity.
No vehicle shall be parked in such a way as to reduce the usable width of any roadway available for moving traffic to less than 15 feet.
No vehicle shall enter upon or park on any property owned, operated or maintained by the Village, unless lawfully authorized, and then only in such manner and at such times and places as may be specifically designated for such purposes by appropriate signs and markings. No vehicle shall enter upon or park on any property within the Village except through a designated entrance or curb cut approved by the Village Planning Board.

No vehicle shall be parked within 15 feet of a point on the curb or curbline nearest to any fire hydrant.
Parking of a vehicle on a plot zoned other than for residence within the Village by any person who is visiting some other property or plot within or without the Village, while said vehicle is so parked, or is employed at another property or plot within or without the Village, while said vehicle is so parked, or is engaged in an occupation which requires such person's physical presence in or on some other property or plot within or without the Village is hereby forbidden.
Parking or proceeding of a vehicle into an area of pavement marked with diagonal hatch lines is hereby forbidden.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this section to the contrary, parking for no more than 30 minutes shall be permitted on Village streets located within or between business districts (as indicated on the Official Zoning Map) between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Wherever a space shall be marked off on any street or in any Village parking area for the parking of an individual vehicle, every vehicle parked shall be parked within the lines bounding such space. It shall be unlawful to park any vehicle across any line or marking of a parking space or in such position that the vehicle shall not be entirely within the area designated by such line or markings.
No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle in any place so posted as restricted to handicapped parking unless he is a holder of a valid special parking permit for the physically handicapped, issued by a federal, state or local agency, or is the operator of a specially registered vehicle for the physically handicapped, issued by a federal, state or local agency, and in both cases, such vehicle is being used at that time for the transportation of a physically handicapped person.
The Chief of Police has filed with the Village Clerk a report certifying that such enforcement is required in the furtherance of public health, safety, peace and good order.
When any vehicle is parked or abandoned or found unattended on any highway or public place within the Village of Lake Success during a snowstorm, flood, fire or other public emergency affecting such highway or public place, or which vehicle constitutes an obstruction to traffic, or where stopping, standing or parking is prohibited, said vehicle may be removed by order of the Lake Success Police Department and shall be removed and stored in such place and by such commercial towing garage as may, from time to time, be designated by the Board of Trustees.

The Lake Success Police Department shall endeavor to ascertain the owner of each such vehicle removed from the Village and shall notify him of the removal and disposition of his vehicle and the amount of the charges which will be required to redeem same. None of the foregoing provisions shall be considered to interfere with the sale of unclaimed vehicles pursuant to other provisions of law.
No person shall ride a bicycle or vehicle or drive or ride a horse upon any street within the Village at a rate of speed or in a manner to endanger the life, limb and/or property of the public.
No person shall operate a motor vehicle upon any of the streets or highways of the Village of Lake Success at a rate of speed in excess of 20 miles per hour, except that a rate of speed not to exceed 30 miles per hour shall be permitted on Lakeville Road, Route 25-D, also known as Little Neck - Old Westbury Road, and the extension of Route 25-D, known as Lakeville Road, and on Marcus Avenue.
