How long can a vehicle stay?
No more than 72 consecutive hours; after written notice the vehicle must be driven at least one mile or removed. A shorter posted or vehicle-specific limit still controls.
When is street sweeping?
Parking is restricted only during the days and hours shown on official street-sweeping signs. Confirm holiday changes in the current City or contractor notice. Do not assume a holiday creates a one-day street-sweeping shift. A published schedule does not replace the sign at the exact curb.
What about RVs and oversized vehicles?
Vehicles over 22 feet or 84 inches wide and several RV/trailer classes are restricted, with limited loading and visitor permit exceptions. Definitions, permit conditions, and exceptions are specific; verify the official rule before relying on one.

What should I check?
