Temecula, CA Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Unlike some Southern California cities, Temecula does not impose a blanket overnight parking ban on public streets. However, the 72-hour maximum under CVC §22651(k) means a vehicle parked overnight repeatedly without being moved can still be cited. Many of Temecula's master-planned communities — including Roripaugh Ranch, Harveston, Redhawk, and Vail Ranch — have private streets governed by HOA CC&Rs that prohibit overnight street parking or require guest parking permits. On public streets, overnight parking is generally allowed unless signed otherwise. Vehicles must comply with posted street sweeping and time-limit restrictions. Oversized vehicles, RVs, trailers, and commercial vehicles over the local size limits face additional overnight restrictions (commonly 2-hour limits during nighttime hours). During fire-season red-flag events or evacuation drills, the city may post temporary no-parking signs to keep evacuation routes clear. Residents should check both city signage and HOA rules before leaving a vehicle on the street overnight.
