Full Breakdown
Aurora City Code § 134-356 makes it unlawful to stop, stand or park any farm tractor, trailer, semitrailer, truck or commercial vehicle with an empty weight over 6,000 pounds or over 22 feet in length on public rights-of-way or city streets, except on streets and at times set by a council-approved schedule on file with the city clerk. Separately, § 134-358 caps any recreational vehicle (motor home, camper trailer, camper van, etc.) at 24 hours' parking on a public right-of-way in any 7-day period, and it must then stay off that right-of-way for at least 72 consecutive hours: simply relocating within the block does not reset the clock. Both sections apply citywide in Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas Counties; violations can draw a citation and towing to the police impound lot.
Violations & Fines
Citation; vehicle may be towed to police impound lot with owner paying towing/storage fees before release.
