Woodinville, WA - During the summer months, the Woodinville Police Department experiences an increase in the number of complaints regarding Parking Violations and related issues. A list of the top violations (Rules of the Road "Infractions") was developed for drivers who may have forgotten some of the most common traffic infractions.

When the Woodinville Police Department receives a complaint or finds a violation during routine patrol, citations may be issued. Most violations impose a minor fine, and some require a mandatory court appearance (seen by the MAND*). In an effort to reduce parking complaints and violations the following list was developed to inform and educate.
