Parking
Many streets in Coquitlam have parking restrictions for safety and emergency access. Check you are not parking too close to fire hydrants, intersections, driveways or crosswalks. Also look for signs which restrict parking.
Vehicles parked in these areas may be a hazard to others and could be fined or towed.
What to Remember When Parking
- Vehicles must be at least 20 feet from an intersection for visibility.
- Vehicles must be set back 10 feet from either side of a driveway.
- Vehicles parked on the sidewalk or overhanging the sidewalk are a risk to pedestrian safety. A pedestrian may have to enter onto the roadway to pass.
- Angle parking is only permitted where road signs and paint markings indicate. In all other locations, including cul-de-sacs, parking must be parallel to the curb.

Parking Passes
A one year parking pass (from date of purchase) is available to Coquitlam residents for $18.00. You will need proof of residency, a vehicle registration and driver’s license. Passes can be purchased at the City Centre Aquatic Complex, Pinetree Community Centre or the Collections Department at City Hall. Passes are non-refundable once purchased.
Since your pass shows your vehicle's licence plate number, passes may be transferred from one vehicle to another if the same licence plate number, registered owner and address applies to the new vehicle. If your licence plate number changes, you will be required to obtain a new pass and a $5.00 transfer fee applies. You will also be required to surrender your old pass and provide insurance documents for the new vehicle.
