FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does it mean if there are "No Parking For Paving" signs on my street?

When you see "No Parking For Paving" signs, it means that milling crews will begin grinding and removing the old surface of your street within 24 to 72 hours. This time frame may be extended due to emergency situations. Once the signs are posted, all vehicles and other structures must be removed from the road within 24 hours and should remain at least one foot away from the edge of the pavement to allow machinery to pass safely. 

Will I be towed even if the signs go missing? 

Yes. Any vehicles left on the road when milling crews arrive will be towed by KPD at the vehicle owner's expense. The placement of these signs is logged and photographed. Although signs may sometimes be stolen or discarded, this does not relieve owners of the responsibility to remove their vehicles from the public right-of-way before street improvements. 

How long will it be until the road is paved? 

After the road has been milled, paving crews will replace the road surface within two weeks. Please monitor this page to see where the crews are currently working.  


How long before I can drive on the new road?

Paving crews will have flaggers on-site to guide traffic onto any surfaces that are safe for travel. It typically takes about 5 to 15 minutes for a location to be ready for traffic. However, if the roads are too narrow to allow traffic to pass the machinery or if traffic patterns are particularly heavy, delays could extend up to 30 minutes.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Citywide Resurfacing Program provides annual funding for maintaining and improving the City of Knoxville’s public streets. Paving work is distributed equitably across all six council districts. The program’s target resurfacing cycles are: arterials every 10 years, collectors every 15 years, and local streets every 20 years.

The Civil Engineering Division manages a comprehensive Pavement Management System that evaluates all city streets to determine resurfacing needs. This system uses advanced tools, such as laser-based surface testing, along with traffic data and environmental factors to calculate a pavement condition rating for each street. These ratings, combined with coordination efforts with utility companies and other City construction projects, guide the prioritization of resurfacing work.

Each winter, a list of streets slated for paving is developed, and a contractor is selected in the spring to complete the resurfacing for that year.
