Parking your RV at home for a few days? Avoid a ticket by learning the seasonal parking rules for recreational vehicles like motor homes, trailers, campers and boats in residential areas.
Here is what to keep in mind this season ⬇️
🚘 Driveway parking
You are allowed to park your RV in your front driveway for up to 3 consecutive days. After that, it needs to be stored off-site for at least 2 full days. Also, make sure it is parked at least 1 metre from the sidewalk and not within 7.5 metres of any intersection
🛑 Street parking
Street parking is allowed (if you don’t have a driveway) for up to 3 consecutive days on the street directly in front of your house, followed by a minimum 2-day storage period. Parked RV’s cannot block the view of intersections, crosswalks, playgrounds, signs or obstruct the movement of local traffic.
❌ Detached trailers or campers cannot be parked on city streets or alleys at any time.
📌 A quick reminder: rotating between driveway and street parking without 2-day break in storage is not allowed.
