As Tahoe’s peak season approaches, parking signs stand along Tahoe’s east shore corridor in an attempt to curb dangerous off-shoulder parking along the winding and narrow highway.
The new “No Parking” signs and “20-minute Parking” signs were installed on State Route 28 from south of Sand Harbor to the Carson City line last fall.
Since their placement, parking citations have almost quadrupled compared to a year prior, according to data from the Nevada Highway Patrol. Traffic citations have increased by close to 30%, and crashes have decreased by 24%. The full impact of these changes will become clear as peak season comes into full swing.
