Statutory Conformance — CGS §14-251 (Parking Distance from Crosswalks)
CGS §14-251 sets the statewide parking restrictions: no parking within 25 ft of crosswalk, 10 ft of hydrant, 20 ft of fire station driveway, etc. A citation issued under §14-251 must specify which subsection. Citations that cite the wrong subsection or measure incorrectly (e.g., from edge of curb cut rather than crosswalk) are voidable.
