Los Angeles FAQ

Does the oversized-vehicle ban apply citywide?

Only on streets with posted signs giving notice of the 2am-6am restriction. Without signs, LAMC §80.69.4 cannot be enforced on that block.

How do I get an overnight permit for my RV?

Apply through LADOT's online portal, identify the specific block and dates, pay the fee, and limit use to the annual cap, typically 72 permits per year.
