Upland, CA Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Upland does not impose a citywide overnight parking prohibition the way some cities do; instead it relies on a 72-hour limit, street-sweeping schedules, and downtown permit zones. Under the Municipal Code, no person may park, leave standing, or store any vehicle (as defined in Vehicle Code Section 670) on a publicly maintained highway, street, alley, or place open to vehicular travel for more than 72 consecutive hours. Critically, a vehicle is considered in violation if it has not been moved more than one-fifth of a mile (1,056 feet) within that 72-hour window — simply moving across the street does not reset the clock. Before towing, the City issues a warning notice; failure to move the vehicle within the period results in tow and storage. In the downtown area (between A Street and D Street, and 1st Avenue and 3rd Avenue), residents who obtain a free yearly residential or visitor permit may park in government-owned public lots between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. and beyond 72 hours; without a permit, overnight lot parking in that window is not allowed. Always check posted street-sweeping signs, which prohibit parking during the sweeping window.
