SDMC §86.0139 prohibits oversized and recreational vehicles from parking on public streets between 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM. Oversized vehicles are defined as exceeding 27 feet in length AND 7 feet in height. Parking any such vehicle within 50 feet of an intersection is prohibited at any time. Residents may obtain a Temporary Overnight Recreational Vehicle Permit (TORVP) at $1.50 per 24-hour period, with a maximum of 72 permits per address per year.
San Diego may restrict overnight street parking, typically between 2 AM and 6 AM. Some areas require overnight parking permits while others ban it entirely on certain streets. Restrictions help with street sweeping, snow removal, and crime prevention. Vehicles parked overnight without authorization may be ticketed or towed. Some neighborhoods have resident permit parking programs for overnight exceptions.
Parking tickets typically $25 to $75. Vehicles may be towed at owner expense ($150 to $300+ plus daily storage).
