Pittsburgh restricts overnight parking of oversized vehicles on residential streets between 10 PM and 7 AM. Standard cars may park overnight on most streets, but RPP zones require permits.
Under Pittsburgh Code Title 5, Chapter 549 (Residential Parking Permit Program), certain neighborhoods are designated RPP zones where only permit holders or their guests may park. Within residential zoning districts, it is unlawful to park an oversized vehicle (over 22 feet long or over 8 feet wide) or an unconnected trailer on any public street for longer than two hours between 10 PM and 7 AM. This does not apply to vehicles actively loading or unloading under a valid permit. Standard passenger vehicles without RPP restrictions may park on most residential streets overnight, though the citywide 72-hour limit still applies -- vehicles left unmoved for more than 72 hours may be cited and towed. Snow emergency declarations suspend normal parking and require vehicles to move to designated routes. Contact Pittsburgh 311 at (412) 255-2621 to check RPP zone status for a specific address.
