Overnight Parking: Clovis vs Selma

No citywide overnight parking ban in Clovis. Vehicles may park on residential streets overnight subject to the 72-hour max-move rule and posted street sweeping hours. Some signed corridors restrict 2 AM-5 AM parking.

Selma does not impose a blanket overnight parking ban on residential streets, making it more permissive than many California cities that restrict parking during late-night hours. Personal passenger vehicles may be parked on residential streets overnight, provided they remain in compliance with the 72-hour maximum parking duration under California Vehicle Code Section 22651(k) and are not blocking driveways, fire hydrants, red zones, or other restricted areas. However, specific vehicle categories face additional overnight restrictions even in the absence of a general ban. Commercial motor trucks, truck tractors, and semi-trailers are prohibited from parking on residential streets at all times, including overnight, under SMC 10-10-26. Recreational vehicles and trailers are limited to the 72-hour-per-month loading window under SMC 10-10-33(B), which means overnight RV parking is only permitted during an active loading or unloading period. Vehicles parked overnight must comply with all posted restrictions including street sweeping schedules, which may require vehicles to be moved during early morning hours on certain days. The Selma Police Department handles overnight parking enforcement and responds to complaints about vehicles parked in violation of applicable restrictions.
