Yes, Richmond has a law against circling the block

Reality check: On the books in city code doesn't always mean enforced, but it's good to know the law in case officials change their minds about the "enforcing" part.

🔁 You can get in trouble for driving past the same spot three times

Driving past the same spot three or more times within two hours can be illegal in designated no-cruising zones between 6pm-4am and result in a $25 fine — if it contributes to congestion.

🚒 Parking across from a fire station can be illegal

The no-parking zone extends to 75 feet from the station's driveway on the opposite side of the street. The fine: $50.

🅿️ There's such a thing as parking too far away from a curb

Leave more than 18 inches between your car and the curb and you're technically in violation of city code. The fine: $40.

The bottom line: Apparently there's a wrong way to do just about everything.
