Ridgway RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Storage | Visitor front-yard exception up to seven days; not ordinary resident storage. |
| Public parking or loading | Separate visitor right-of-way exception up to 24 hours; not evaluated. |
| Occupancy | No living, sleeping or housekeeping. |
The normal rule and visitor exception differ
The Borough reminder reproduces Ordinance 538 section 601.8: ordinary major RV parking/storage is barred from public rights-of-way, residential front yards and front-yard driveways. A visitor or tourist who is not a Borough resident has a separate front-yard exception for an RV they own or operate, up to seven days.
A parking exception is not accommodation
The provision forbids living, sleeping and housekeeping in an RV on a residential lot or another location not approved for that use. Keep the vehicle unoccupied and obtain the property owner’s consent; this route does not authorize utilities.
Street stays use another limit
The reminder separately allows visitors or tourists up to 24 hours on a public right-of-way. That is not the seven-day private-lot exception. This guide evaluates only the front-yard visitor route and does not settle street restrictions, commercial-vehicle rules or ordinary rear storage.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. Based on the Borough official August 25, 2025 reminder of section 601.8, read November 7, 2026. Nonresident visitor front-yard parking only; no general zoning, street, commercial, hookup or campsite approval.
Use the Ridgway parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
