Vehicles parked on Columbus streets must now be moved at least 75 ft. every 72 hrs.

Changes to Columbus city code mean Columbus vehicle owners can no longer satisfy the city's parking time limit by pushing their cars forward a few inches every three days, Rick Rouan reports for The Columbus Dispatch.

The code changes, approved by city council on Monday, kept at 72 hours the amount of time a vehicle can be left parked in one place. Now, however, there's a distance requirement; vehicles must be moved at least 75 feet to stay in compliance.

Previously, Mr. Rouan writes, "people [would] move disabled vehicles just a few inches [every 72 hours] to avoid a ticket."
