Know the Code

City Code has been amended regarding stopping, standing or parking on roadways.

As we look ahead to the new school year, parents, grandparents, and legal guardians who drop off and pick up students at Cooper City schools are urged to understand and comply with this Code change.

No person shall stop, stand, or park a vehicle on any roadway within 1,000 feet of a public or private elementary, middle, or secondary school within one hour before the scheduled starting time for the regular school day or school special event or within one hour after the scheduled school dismissal time for the regular school day or school special event.

Please arrive at the appropriate time and help us keep streets safe by preventing wrong way driving as motorists sometimes use the wrong lane to get around stopped vehicles. A violation of this Code will result in a $100 citation to the vehicle owner.
