Summary

Oversized and overweight vehicle parking is regulated by municipalities across York County, not the county. York City's Article 513 addresses oversize/overweight vehicles and street weight limits. Within York County Parks, a vehicle may not take up more than one designated parking space unless a Park Ranger approves.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of York County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

No Person shall: … Park a motor vehicle within the Park System in such a manner as to take up more than one designated parking space unless approved by a Park Ranger.

Full Breakdown

Where a large truck, RV, or oversized vehicle may park on a street or lot is a municipal matter in York County. York City's Article 513 (§ 513.07–513.08) covers weight restrictions and oversize/overweight vehicles on city streets. Pennsylvania Title 75 governs oversize permitting on public roads. The county's direct control is limited to its parks: under Chapter 75, no person may park so as to take up more than one designated space without ranger approval. Contact your municipality for residential oversized-vehicle limits.

Violations & Fines

Municipal oversized-vehicle violations are fined under local ordinance and PA Title 75. Taking multiple park spaces without approval is a Chapter 75 summary offense ($75–$800).
