How does the residential street limit work?
Section 71.02 C makes parking unlawful for any portion of any five cumulative days in any 30-day period. Count every day touched, not five blocks of 24 hours. This checker clears only a stay confirmed to touch fewer than five cumulative days; the fifth day does not receive an assumed grace period.
Can moving down the block restart the clock?
No. Directly changing position to another point within the same block counts as one continuous parking period. A short move does not erase prior days. Keep a record of all days in the relevant 30-day window.
What if a street has a different posted rule?
Signs may prohibit parking or identify a different time period. The ordinary cumulative-day route here requires confirmation that no different sign applies. A posted exception or different period needs its actual wording checked.
Which placement restrictions still apply?
Do not block sidewalks, driveways, intersections, crosswalks, bike lanes, bus stops or traffic. The code sets 15 feet from hydrants, 20 feet from intersection crosswalks except approved spaces, and 30 feet on the approach to traffic signals or stop signs. Fire-station entrances have separate 20-foot and opposite-side 75-foot clearances. Parallel parking generally requires curbside wheels within 18 inches and facing traffic.
Can the street be used for repairs or vehicle sales?
Parking primarily for sale display, washing, greasing or repair is restricted, with emergency repairs and a possible immediately adjacent residence/no-off-street-access exception addressed in the text. That language is not treated as a blanket RV time-limit exception. This checker leaves such special activity for individual review.
Does this allow sleeping or home storage?
No sleeping, utility-connection or private-lot storage permission is established by this traffic section. The street rule covers both RVs and trailers, including a boat carried on a trailer, but detached equipment without a trailer needs classification review. Residential zoning and municipal jurisdiction must both be confirmed.
Does this automatically cover a truck-mounted camper?
Truck-mounted campers remain unresolved in this checker because the examined provisions do not independently establish their classification. Confirm the actual equipment class before applying the RV route.
