Important Information Regarding Wrong-Way-Parking Citations

In May and November of 2024, a number of Cheverly residents were issued citations from the Prince George’s County Revenue Authority for parking the “wrong way” (with left wheels to the curb, facing oncoming traffic), County Code 26-127.04.C10 - Cannot Park Facing Oncoming Traffic.

The Town of Cheverly and County Council Chair Ivey’s office have been in communication with representatives from the Revenue Authority, and they have agreed to dismiss outstanding citations and refund fines already paid for citations issued within the Town of Cheverly.

If you received a citation from the Revenue Authority in May or November of 2024 for parking the wrong way, you can request a dismissal or refund by contacting Ms. Tonya James, Chief Safety Enforcement Officer, at tljames@co.pg.md.us. She will need your citation number; investigation and processing could take up to five business days.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Council Member Bryner at CMWard3@cheverly-md.gov or Town Hall at 301-773-8360.

Please note that parking facing oncoming traffic continues to be a violation in Prince George’s County. While we are hopeful that there will not be future citations for that violation, we cannot guarantee that. We continue to encourage residents to park in the direction of traffic, with the right wheels to the curb, to avoid receiving a citation from a county agency. The Town is in the process of updating our town code related to parking to ensure consistency with state and county statutes and to prevent future misunderstandings.
