Street Parking Limits: Mead Valley vs Riverside

On county-maintained roads in unincorporated Riverside County, the California Vehicle Code governs most street parking. The Board of Supervisors may adopt local restrictions through Ordinance 413 (traffic regulations) including no-parking zones, time limits, and permit-parking districts around schools and trailheads. Many rural roads have no curb or shoulder, so parking there must not obstruct traffic.

Street parking is generally allowed in Riverside where not restricted by signs, colored curb markings, or time limits. The 72-hour rule under California Vehicle Code §22651(k) applies: vehicles cannot remain parked on a public street in the same spot for more than 72 hours without moving.
