The Smithville Police Department plans to crack down on unauthorized parking in handicapped spaces and in fire lanes on private or city property.
Chief Richard Jennings, in a news release Monday, says that “the police department is enforcing state law which states that stopping, standing, or parking is prohibited in specific places. A vehicle parked in a handicapped parking place that does not display a certificate, placard, or a disabled veteran’s license plate will be cited. This also includes parking in the fire lane on private or city property.”
Chief Jennings says the Smithville Police Department would like to remind citizens that this is an enforceable violation and to take care when parking.
