Parking
Enforcement
The City of Redondo Beach
Parking Enforcement unit is dedicated to fairly enforcing the local and state
laws that apply to the parking of motor vehicles. The goal of these enforcement
efforts to fairly allocate the scarce parking resources, thereby enhancing the
quality of life for those who live, work, and play in the City. The following
is some information for motorists.
Park or Not to Park
Parking Violations.
In the unfortunate event
that your vehicle is issued a violation, you have so options. If you wish to
contest the violation, the information to do so is on the back to the parking
violation. Should you wish to pay it immediately, please follow the
instructions on the violation notice. You may also pay for violations online at
https://www.ticketwizard5000.com/. or Mail to

If you think you have
received a violation, but lost your notice, you may check the above website to
see if any violations are still outstanding on your vehicle. Please make
sure you have your vehicle’s license number so that they system may check for
violations.
Abandoned Vehicles. If you observe vehicle in the City that has been
parked in one spot for a long time, call our Abandoned Vehicle Hotline to have
it marked. An officer will mark the vehicle and after 72 hours, if the vehicle
has not moved, it will be towed. The Abandoned Vehicle Hotline is 310-318-0638.
Parking meters.
The City of Redondo Beach uses parking meters in some areas to ensure that
parking is fairly allocated. If you are a frequent visitor to Redondo Beach,
you may wish to consider purchasing a parking meter permit. This permit will
allow to park at certain parking meters for the time limit noted on the meter
without having to insert coins. To obtain forms for parking meter permits,

Street sweeping.
The City of Redondo Beach
regularly cleans its streets. In order to do so, the street must be temporarily
cleared of parked vehicles. Signs are posted at the beginning of each block
noting the day and time of temporary no parking. If vehicles are encountered by
the street sweeper during its operation, and the street sweeper must go around
the vehicle, then a parking violation is usually issued to the vehicle. If the
sweeper has already gone down the street (this is evident by the wet sweeper
tracks), and time is still remaining on the posted zone, vehicles may then park
there. For more information and a street sweeping schedule, follow this link:

Preferential parking.
If you reside or own
property in the following districts, the street parking is regulated by permit
only at certain times.
Towing information.
My car was towed
and I don’t agree with the reason, what can I do?
The first
thing to do is go retrieve you car from the impound facility. The City of
Redondo Beach uses Frank Scotto Towing. They are located at: 1750 W. 223rd
Street, Torrance. You should call the Tow company at 310-787-0208 to see if
there is anything that they require prior to release of the vehicle. It is
important to retrieve your car quickly because impound fees accrue daily. Towed
cars can only be released to the registered owners of the car.
If you
disagree with the reason the car was towed, the California Vehicle Code provides
that the registered owner has a right to a hearing to contest the validity of
the tow.
When a car is towed, the registered owner receives a Notice of Stored Vehicle
from the Police Department. This notice does state that in order to
receive their poststorage hearing, the owners, or their agents, shall request
the hearing in person, writing, or by telephone within 10 days of the date
appearing on the notice. The Hearing Officer for poststorage hearings in
Redondo Beach is Mike Magdaleno, Municipal Enforcement Manager. He can be
reached at 310-372-1171, extension 2418, or by mail at 415 Diamond Street,
Redondo Beach, CA 90277, or by e-mail at
michael.magdaleno@redondo.org. When
requesting a hearing please be sure to include your name, your vehicle license
number, the date and place your car was towed from, and the report number –
listed as DR number – on the Notice of Stored Vehicle. Please leave a
phone number so that the Hearing Officer may get back to you and schedule the
hearing.
