Calaveras County publishes no blanket overnight on-street parking ban for unincorporated roads. The controlling limit is the California Vehicle Code 72-hour rule, plus the County's winter prohibition on parking during snow-removal operations.
There is no published Calaveras County ordinance imposing a county-wide overnight curfew on parking along unincorporated roads. The principal time-based limit comes from the California Vehicle Code: under CVC §22651(k), a vehicle left standing on a roadway for 72 or more consecutive hours may be removed, and a vehicle that sits 72 hours without moving can be treated as abandoned under CVC §22523 and §22669. The County's only published overnight-relevant restriction is seasonal: Calaveras Code §10.28 prohibits parking on the pavement during snow-removal operations, and Public Works states vehicles left in the road right-of-way (generally 5 to 10 feet beyond the pavement) will be towed at the owner's expense, with no County liability for plow damage. In snow-country communities such as Arnold, Avery, Dorrington and Camp Connell, leaving a vehicle on the road overnight during a storm is the most likely way to be towed. Posted signage on specific roads near subdivision entrances and collectors may add local snow-removal restrictions.
A vehicle left on a County road more than 72 hours may be removed under CVC §22651(k). During snow operations, overnight vehicles on the pavement or right-of-way are towed at the owner's expense under Calaveras Code §10.28.
