In our city, a long-standing ordinance gives the person who owns the property adjacent to the street priority when it comes to parking. He can have a notice posted on cars which are parked there for more than two days, and can have them towed if they're there continuously for more than a week. The law is this way, most likely, because Laramie is a college town. Students in college towns have been known to park their car in front of someone's house for a month and never move it. Also, if you live close to campus, students can sometimes consume all available on-street parking during classes. So, the law also allows a block to establish a "parking district" with restricted parking for non-residents. --Brett "Rules?
