Richmond lets drivers park closer to stop signs, ending 30-foot rule

Richmond drivers can now park closer to some stop signs after City Council voted Monday to ease the city's parking restrictions. Why it matters: Increased enforcement of the little-known parking rule triggered a nearly 280% surge in tickets this year, almost entirely in the 2nd District that includes the Fan, Jackson Ward and Scott's Addition. Driving the news: City Council approved a change to the city's ban on parking within 30 feet of a stop sign, despite previous concerns from transportation officials that the change could make intersections less safe. The new rule generally prohibits parking within 20 feet of a street corner, which supporters say brings Richmond closer to the standard used by neighboring counties and elsewhere in Virginia. The city can still establish larger no-parking zones where needed, as long as they're visibly marked. Friction point: Residents were split during public comment, with some calling the city's ticketing practices confusing and unfair and others warning the new rule could create safety hazards. At Park Avenue and Rowland Street, one resident complained about surprise tickets while another said parked cars obscured a stop sign so badly he nearly ran it. The other side: Richmond transportation director Andy Boenau previously
