Oversized vehicles fall under the county's "Major Motor Vehicle" rule: any vehicle 8+ feet wide or 25+ feet long (or any truck tractor/road tractor/semi-trailer) may not be parked on a county road except for loading, unloading, or immediate active use.
The parking ordinance defines a Major Motor Vehicle by size: eight feet or more in width (including the truck bed), and/or twenty-five feet or more in length, and/or any truck tractor, road tractor, or semi-trailer regardless of size. Section J.1 bars parking such vehicles on any Highway in unincorporated Jefferson County except for active loading, unloading, or immediate use. Large recreational vehicles and trailers are separately limited to 28 days on a Highway (Section J.2). Incorporated cities apply their own oversized-vehicle standards.
Class 2 petty offense: $25 fine escalating to $35 then $50. After a 72-hour written notice the vehicle may be impounded as a public nuisance and traffic obstruction.
