WORKED EXAMPLE: 48 HOURS AWAY CAN STILL BE TOO SOON Can I Park My RV? | November 11, 2026 Illustration URL: https://caniparkmyrv.com/rv-loading-time-limits-study/#worked-calendar-days This is a fictional schedule illustrating one already-included municipal provision. It is not observed parking activity, an additional municipality, a new study dataset, a general rule for calendar-day ordinances, or parking approval. The original ten-row comparison and separate four-row supplement keep their own denominators. SOURCE AND SCOPE Dardenne Prairie, Missouri, published municipal code: https://ecode360.com/29686081 Section 350.340(B)(4)(c) and (c)(1). Read November 11, 2026, with (A), (B)(1), (B)(4)(b) and (C) for scope. The publisher's code index reports legislation through June 3, 2026: https://ecode360.com/DA3279 Later enactments have not been fully reconciled for this illustration. The selected outdoor loading/unloading route has a two-consecutive-calendar- day ceiling, counts any part of a parked day as the entire day, and then requires at least two consecutive calendar days without the listed equipment on the same residential lot. The R-1A and enclosed-storage routes are separate. Classification, paving and other requirements remain. Neither street parking nor sleeping permission follows from this illustration. FICTIONAL INPUTS - A qualifying loading visit begins Monday at 11:30 p.m. - It ends Tuesday at 12:30 a.m. - The example week has no clock change. - The lot is outside the separate R-1A route. - Earlier parking history does not prevent this visit. - No recreational vehicle, recreational equipment, pickup camper or trailer remains on or returns to the lot after departure through Thursday. CALENDAR-DAY LEDGER Monday: Parked day 1. Arrival at 11:30 p.m. touches this date. Tuesday: Parked day 2. Departure at 12:30 a.m. touches this date. Tuesday cannot also count as a clear calendar day. Wednesday: Clear day 1. No listed equipment for the entire calendar day. Thursday: Clear day 2, if the entire calendar day remains clear. Friday: At 12:00 a.m., the two clear days are complete. Only the illustrated absence condition has been met. REPRODUCE THE ARITHMETIC 1. Mark every calendar date touched by the loading visit: Monday and Tuesday. Thirty minutes before midnight plus thirty minutes after midnight is one elapsed hour, but the source's counting rule yields two parked days. 2. Do not count the departure date as a clear date. Identify the next two consecutive dates wholly clear of all four listed equipment classes on the same lot: Wednesday and Thursday. 3. At Thursday 12:30 a.m., Tuesday 12:30 a.m. is 48 elapsed hours earlier. Only Wednesday is a completed clear calendar day. Thursday is unfinished. 4. At Friday 12:00 a.m., both Wednesday and Thursday are complete. Tuesday 12:30 a.m. to Wednesday 12:00 a.m. is 23 hours 30 minutes. Add Wednesday's 24 hours and Thursday's 24 hours: 71 hours 30 minutes. Those elapsed totals explain this fictional schedule. They do not convert the ordinance to a 48-hour or 71.5-hour absence rule. Different arrival/departure times and clock changes affect elapsed time, not the source-native requirement for two clear calendar days. A replacement RV or trailer is not a fresh clock. REUSE AND ATTRIBUTION Suggested caption: In a fictional Dardenne Prairie loading visit from Monday 11:30 p.m. to Tuesday 12:30 a.m., one hour touches two calendar days. Wednesday and Thursday must then remain wholly clear of the listed equipment on the same lot under the illustrated published provision. Timing alone is not parking approval. Cite this worked example and the municipal source. Keep the fictional-input label, same-lot condition, listed equipment, R-1A scope, source read date and code-publication limitation. Do not describe this as a new measured finding, apply its explicit partial-day rule to another municipality, or combine it with either dataset's sample size.
