Upland, CA Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Most driveway-related parking rules in Upland come from state law, which the City enforces locally. Under California Vehicle Code Section 22500, no one may stop, park, or leave a vehicle in front of a public or private driveway, on a sidewalk, or with the body of the vehicle extending over any portion of a sidewalk. Upland's Municipal Code adds local detail: Section 10.36.020 prohibits stopping, standing, or parking within any parkway or median strip (the landscaped strip between curb and sidewalk), except as otherwise allowed. When parking an RV, boat, or trailer in a driveway setback, the zoning standards require it to be on a paved or improved surface, parked perpendicular to the street, and kept entirely off the sidewalk and right-of-way. Upland's zoning code also requires that off-street parking and driveway surfaces be properly improved (concrete, asphalt, gravel, or brick) and, for residential property-maintenance purposes, that required parking areas not be blocked or converted to other uses. Drivers should treat a residential driveway apron and the sidewalk as off-limits for through-traffic blocking, since both the City and CVC 22500 prohibit obstructing them.
