Murray RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Storage | Private-lot storage unresolved. |
| Street | Over 7 feet wide (excluding mirrors), 20 feet long or 7.5 feet high: at most 6 hours without police permission; listed trailers over 8 feet use the same time limit. |
| Occupancy | Sleeping and living unresolved. |
Oversized vehicles: more than six hours
Section 72.05(A) covers a camper, motorhome, trailer, truck or other vehicle exceeding seven feet overall width excluding mirrors, twenty feet overall length, or seven and one-half feet overall height. Exceeding any one dimension triggers the rule. Such a vehicle may not park on a street longer than six hours without special police permission. Exactly the listed dimension is not exceeding it, and exactly six hours is not longer than six.
Utility, golf-cart and box trailers
The same subsection separately covers utility, golf-cart and box trailers over eight feet overall length: no more than six hours on a street without special police permission. The eight-foot trigger is not the twenty-foot trigger for the other vehicle route. Permission is not issued or presumed by this checker.
Abandoned and junked vehicles
Section 72.01 defines an abandoned vehicle as one parked or standing in the public right-of-way for more than 72 hours. It defines a junked vehicle as an inoperative motor vehicle that is wrecked, dismantled, partially dismantled or discarded. Section 72.05(B) prohibits abandoned and junked vehicles on any street for any duration. The 72-hour definition is not a general parking allowance; the six-hour rule or another restriction may prohibit parking earlier.
Other restrictions still govern the space
Section 72.03 prohibits parking in numerous unsafe or restricted places, subject to its traffic-conflict, officer-direction and traffic-control-device exceptions. Examples include sidewalks and accessible ramps, within ten feet of driveways or fire hydrants, within thirty feet of a fire-station driveway or traffic-control device, and within fifty feet of the nearest railroad rail. Signs, red curbs, marked fire lanes, obstruction and failure to fit wholly in a designated space also matter. This route requires separate confirmation of the complete site restrictions; it does not issue a clearance for a particular space.
Local traffic-management restrictions
Section 72.04 makes the city’s traffic-management manual, including its on-street parking guide, the primary local on-street policy and provides for properly posted restrictions on designated streets. A stay under six hours does not override those restrictions. The packet does not establish a private-property storage, guest sleeping, camping or utility-connection allowance.
Who to contact for your setup

Publisher labels the edition 2024 S-48 but expressly declares local legislation through Ordinance 2025-1887 adopted December 11, 2025 and KRS 2025. The label is not treated as proof of a 2024 legal cutoff. Targeted 2026 parking-amendment search found no concrete later change to these clauses. The municipal code-information page returned 403 and was not retried.
