Don’t Reserve Public Right-of-Way

The City of Key West wants to remind residents and visitors that they cannot block off parts of the public right-of-way for private parking. City officials have received complaints that people are using cones or other means to reserve parking spaces along the city streets. The right-of-way is public property, and cannot be marked with private “No Parking,” “No Trespassing,” or other signs. Nor can this area be blocked with cones or other obstructions.

Anyone who has tried to reserve City right-of-way for private use is warned to take down the signs or remove the blockage immediately. Cones or other illegal blockades will be removed.
