Curfew Information

In the Hampton Roads area, the various cities impose a curfew on youth designed to ensure their safety. A child under the age of 18 may not be out between the hours of midnight and 5:00 am unless accompanied by the parent, guardian, or other adult who has the care, custody, or control of the child. The curfew states that youth may not be present on "any street, road, alley, avenue, park, or other public place" or in "any vehicle operating or parked thereon." Parents cannot give their child permission to break curfew.

Driving Curfew: Virginia's curfew laws prohibit drivers under age 18 who hold a learner's permit or driver's license from driving midnight to 5 a.m. If you hold a driver's license you may drive during these hours:

• In case of an emergency;
• When traveling to and from work or a school-sponsored event;
• When accompanied by a parent or other adult acting in place of a parent;
• When responding to an emergency call as a volunteer firefighter or rescue squad personnel.
