The City of Ypsilanti is reminding residents to park responsibly, and to refrain from using public roadways for long-term vehicle storage.

Per state regulation, the City of Ypsilanti Police Department places an orange-colored notice on any vehicle that has been parked on a public roadway for a period longer than 48-hours. After receiving a notice, the vehicle must be moved within 48 hours or else it will be considered abandoned and stored at the owner's expense. Read on what to do if you need to retrieve a towed vehicle.

Recreational vehicles such as RVs and trailers are also not allowed to be parked on public roadways, and must be stored in an enclosed building, or within a front, rear, or side yard. Any recreational vehicles parked or stored on public roads for more than 48 hours will receive an Improper Parking Citation.

Questions regarding parking enforcement should be directed to the City of Ypsilanti Police Department at 734-483-9510.

Public roadways must be kept with minimal obstructions for drivers, first-responders, Public Works staff, and those providing necessary services for our residents. We appreciate your understanding and willingness to help keep our streets safe. View public parking locations and available parking permits.
