RV and trailer street restriction
Section 10.32.045 prohibits RVs, motorhomes, boats and vehicle trailers on public streets and highways except for a reasonable loading or unloading period. Cargo, utility and travel trailers are included. No fixed number of loading hours is provided.
The 24-hour limit does not authorize storage
Section 10.32.030 limits any vehicle to 24 hours, subject to shorter posted limits. Reparking on either side of the same street does not reset the clock. Its relocation rule requires at least one block and a differently named street.
Curb, registration and location rules
Motor vehicles must be parallel and within 12 inches of the curb unless another arrangement is duly authorized and posted. Current plates and tabs must be properly displayed. Specific street segments have additional restrictions, including passenger-car-only parking near B and 20th Streets.
A parking-zone permit does not waive the RV rule
The 2026 permit-zone provision retains other restrictions. Resident or visitor permits therefore do not override the RV loading limitation. Check signs, the exact street segment and permit requirements before loading. Violations can result in fines and towing.
