Full Breakdown

Under Sec. 118-88(a), it is unlawful to park or leave standing any truck or vehicle rated over 12,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, or any motor home, trailer, truck-tractor, or recreational vehicle on a public street or right-of-way anywhere in Bryan. The code carves out narrow affirmative defenses: an out-of-town guest's RV parked adjacent to the host's property for up to five days, utility or street-repair equipment actively working, buses at designated stops, and any covered vehicle actively loading or unloading. Section 118-88(b) separately restricts parking these same vehicle types in a front yard or vacant lot visible from public view unless the surface is hard-paved or curbed gravel.

Violations & Fines

Violating Sec. 118-88 is a Class C misdemeanor citation; the vehicle is also subject to towing/impoundment for the parking violation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my RV on my Bryan street overnight?
No, unless you're an out-of-town guest of the resident and it's for five days or less; residents' own RVs can't be left on the public street.
Can I park a box truck over 12,000 lbs in front of my Bryan house?
Not on the public street or right-of-way. Sec. 118-88(a) bans any vehicle over 12,000 lbs GVW there, with only narrow exceptions for active loading or utility work.
