Sidewalk Parking in Atlanta

Georgia law prohibits parking on the sidewalk and driving upon a sidewalk except where authorized driveways are provided. Yet, many government employees and contractors drive over the curb and park on the sidewalks anyway. PEDS is working to end this practice by getting government agencies to obey and enforce their own laws. The City of Atlanta will soon privatize its parking enforcement. That will likely provide the needed incentive to ticket violators.
