City Will Crackdown on Red Flag Parking Violators

The Red Flag parking restrictions which go into effect today are notable not just because of the danger they convey but also because this is the last time violators have any hope of getting away unticketed or untowed.

City of Pasadena officials allowed for up to five Red Flag cycles after the City Council passed the resolution in 2009 to “train” the public on the safety procedure. Today’s alert is the fifth and final before ticketing will occur in earnest.

“All future Red Flag Restrictions will result in tickets being issued.  Then, after another 5 activations or 10 cumulative days, vehicles will also be subject to being towed,” a city official said.

Streets where parking is restricted on Red Flag days are posted with appropriate “No Parking” signs. If signs are not posted, that street is not affected.

Red Flag sign locations are expected to include:
1. Northbound Altadena Dr Near Veranda Ave
2. Ne Corner Of New York Dr And Sierra Madre Villa Ave
