Kansas Parking Laws: Understanding the Basics

Kansas drivers are responsible for proper parking and law enforcement. They also need to make sure their vehicle is safe when parked. The state has a number of laws that govern where you can park. However, cities and towns may have their own additional laws that you will also need to follow. Failure to comply with the law can result in fines and fines, as well as possible towage of your vehicle.

Always park in designated areas, and if you have to park on the side of the road, for example due to an emergency, you need to make sure you get as far away from the road as possible.

Parking is prohibited in many places

It is important to keep in mind that there are many places where you will not be able to park your car under any circumstances. Drivers in Kansas are not allowed to park at an intersection or within a crosswalk at an intersection. It is also illegal to park in front of the road. In addition to fines and possible evacuation of the car, this causes inconvenience to the owner of the driveway. Part of responsible parking is courtesy.

If the street is narrow, you are not allowed to park on the side of the road if that would interfere with traffic. Also, double parking, sometimes referred to as double parking, is illegal. This will cause the carriageway to become narrower and disrupt traffic, and is therefore illegal.

You must not park on bridges or other elevated structures (such as overpasses) on a highway or in a tunnel. Drivers may not park within 30 feet of the ends of the security zone. You may not park on railroad tracks, median lanes or intersections, or controlled access roads.

You must not park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant or within 30 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection. You also cannot park within 30 feet of a traffic light or stop sign. You must ensure that you are not parked within 20 feet of a fire station, or 75 feet if posted by the fire department.

Parking spaces designated for people with disabilities can only be used by those who have special license plates or signs. If you park in one of these areas, usually marked with blue paint as well as signs, and you don't have special signs or signs, you could be fined and potentially towed.

It is very important that you always take the time to check the signs, as they may indicate a no-parking zone, even though it may otherwise appear that you can park there. Follow the official signs so you don't risk getting your ticket.
