Who should I call to have an abandoned vehicle removed from a public street?

How can we get “No Parking” signs in our neighborhood?
Parking can be a problem in residential areas, particularly in those neighborhoods near schools, public parks, or athletic fields. Residents need to keep in mind that if parking is prohibited in a neighborhood, restrictions apply to both residents and visitors to the area. If you have a parking problem in your neighborhood, enroll in the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program so the City can work with you towards a solution.

See RMC 10.52.200 for more information about parking signs.

Can residents paint curbs or install signs to prohibit parking?
No. It is illegal for private residents to paint curbs or install signs that prohibit parking. Requests for the City to consider parking restrictions on public streets can be addressed to Public Works/Traffic Operations at pwtrans@redmond.gov.

How close to the curb should I park?
RMC 10.52.030 states that a vehicle should be parked within 12 inches of the curb.
