NORTHBOROUGH – The Northborough Police Department is reminding residents not to park on sidewalks.
Under Northborough regulations, drivers are prohibited from parking in several places. This includes on a sidewalk and crosswalk; within an intersection; in the road in a business or residential district where parking is permitted unless both wheels are within a foot of the curb, except where angle parking is required; within 10 feet of a fire hydrant; in front of a private road or driveway without the consent of the owner; and on any street or highway within 20 feet of an intersecting way with the exceptions of alleys.
The fine for all municipal parking violations is $50 and could include the removal of the vehicle.
According to Northborough Police Chief Bill Lyver, if a resident sees a parking violation, they should contact the Northborough Police Department’s business number at 508-393-1515. People can also visit the police department’s website at https://www.town.northborough.ma.us/police-department and select “file a police report.”
Residents are asked not to report issues through the police department’s Facebook page.
