Traffic Enforcement
The Police Department enforces parking and traffic laws throughout town daily. Parking in the downtown area is often difficult, especially during warm days, or scheduled sporting events. Please be aware of the timed limits posted in most areas downtown. Additionally, many parking spaces close to Natalie Coffin Greene Park are restricted. If you receive a parking citation, follow the directions on the reverse side. There are instructions on making the payment, or requesting an appeal. All parking citations issued in Ross are processed through the Marin Parking Authority, Citation Processing Center, P.O. Box 10479, Newport Beach, CA 92658-0479, Phone (800) 989-2058, www.citationprocessingcenter.com.
The narrow roads and pedestrians require low speed limits on several roads. Be extra careful when driving near the school and when bicyclists are present. If you receive a traffic citation, your options will be available from the Marin Superior Court, Traffic Division. Please visit their website for more details:
