Which street-parking rule is screened?
Section 365.080B uses the phrase unattached boat, trailer or recreational vehicle. This checker requires that scope to be confirmed; it does not silently turn the wording into a ban on every motorhome or attached trailer. Chapter 300 supplies traffic definitions, but an uncertain RV classification needs City review.
What does the visitor exception require?
The exception describes RVs or motorhomes actually used for lodging while visiting, by someone other than the owner of the property directly abutting the parking space. It is not a general allowance for the abutting owner’s stored RV or for every guest vehicle.
How long is the visitor stay?
The provision states no more than 72 consecutive hours except where permitted. The checker treats a longer stay without permission as outside the exception and sends claimed or uncertain permission to the City. A stop within 72 hours still does not establish all parking or occupancy requirements.
Do other traffic restrictions still apply?
Yes. Section 365.020 preserves other, more restrictive parking provisions. Section 365.010 has actual traffic-conflict and police/traffic-device direction exceptions. Signs and the exact space matter; the visitor provision is not immunity from other street restrictions.
Are truck and commercial-trailer rules different?
Section 365.080A separately addresses trucks, tractors, commercial trailers, buses, car haulers, box trailers and stock trailers, with its own capacity and active-loading/service exceptions. A vehicle potentially covered by that subsection needs separate review rather than borrowing the visitor rule.
Does this approve driveway storage or hookups?
No. The selected source is a City-street rule. Private-lot parking, permanent residence, utilities and a specific site’s occupancy requirements are not established by the visitor exception. Ask the City about the proposed arrangement before making it.
What sources and later changes were checked?
The official City homepage links eCode360, whose index reports legislation through January 12, 2026. On October 26, 2026, 29 later-law entries were screened, including annexations and zoning-map changes. Full amendments 202627, 202609 and 202611 address sidewalk personal-transport devices, building-envelope condition and the shelter definition respectively, not a replacement of 365.080. Confirm present boundaries and any site-specific restrictions; this narrow street screen is not an occupancy permit.
Who to contact for your setup
Contact the City of Bonne Terre with the exact address, unit classification, intended activity and dates. Confirm zoning, signs, permits, private restrictions and later changes before relying on a parking arrangement.
Use the Bonne Terre parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
