Amends the Amesbury Traffic and Parking Regulations to prohibit parking on curbs or edges of roadways, clarifying the 12-inch rule and one-way street rules; applies citywide. Takes effect upon passage.
This ordinance updates the City's Traffic and Parking Regulations to add a prohibition on parking on curbs or edges of roadways. It clarifies that while vehicles must be within 12 inches of the curb or edge, parking on the curb itself is not allowed, and on one-way streets the same 12-inch rule applies with the vehicle off the curb. It also maintains existing prohibitions (e.g., no parking in intersections, on sidewalks, or near hydrants) to improve safety and traffic flow citywide. The measure becomes effective upon passage.
