Fresno County does not enforce a universal overnight ban on unincorporated streets. Vehicles cannot remain in one spot more than 72 hours (CVC §22651(k)). Specific locations—county park lots, lake access points (Pine Flat, Millerton), school zones, and certain trailheads—post overnight-parking prohibitions enforceable by the Sheriff or Parks Department. Truck stops and rest areas along I-5/Hwy 99 have their own Caltrans rules. Occupying a vehicle as a dwelling on public streets may trigger code enforcement.
