California Vehicle Code (VEH § 22500) prohibits any vehicle from stopping„ parking; or
standing within an intersection unless it;is adjacent to a curb, and permitted.by a local
ordinance. The City of Palm Desert Municipal Code prohibits this only when the area is
indicated by appropriate signs, or red paint an the curbs. Not every intersection in the

10.48.040 is being amended to no longer allow stopping, parking, or' standing in are
intersection.
