Siskiyou County, CA Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Siskiyou County does not publish a separate driveway-parking ordinance; on County roads, CVC Section 22500(e) prohibits stopping, parking, or leaving any vehicle in front of a public or private driveway. The County's most concrete driveway guidance is in its snow operations. Public Works snow policy states snow 'usually is plowed to the right with the intent of creating equal berms in each direction,' and that 'berms are not removed from private road encroachments, mailboxes or driveways.' In practice this means after a plow passes, a snow berm is left across the end of each driveway, and clearing it is the property owner's responsibility, not the County's. Because Siskiyou is a heavy-snow Mount Shasta-region county, residents along County-maintained roads in McCloud, Lake Shastina and similar areas should expect repeated berms during storms. Vehicles must not be left where they block a driveway (CVC Section 22500(e)) or obstruct snow removal in the roadway, where Ordinance No. 770 allows the vehicle to be removed and stored at the owner's expense. Under California law generally, depositing material including snow onto a highway is prohibited (CVC Section 23113).
