Unincorporated Mono County has no found size-based ordinance specifically banning oversized vehicles from residential streets; the California Vehicle Code governs on-road parking, and the County can post oversized/weight restrictions under CVC §22507. Heavy snow makes obstruction the chief concern.
No countywide ordinance setting a vehicle length, height, or weight cap for residential street parking in unincorporated Mono County was located. On county roads, oversized vehicles (large RVs, trailers, buses, heavy trucks) are subject to the California Vehicle Code, including the prohibition on blocking driveways, intersections, and sidewalks (CVC §22500) and the 72-hour limit (CVC §22651(k)). CVC §22507 authorizes the County to adopt and post restrictions on specific streets, which is how seasonal, weight-limited, or snow-route limits are enforced. In this Eastern Sierra environment, an oversized vehicle parked on a narrow road shoulder during winter can obstruct plows and emergency vehicles, so obstruction — rather than size alone — typically triggers enforcement and removal under CVC §22651(b). For storing a large RV or trailer on private land, the General Plan zoning standards (and, for occupancy, Section 04.040 RV limits) apply rather than a street-size rule.
Oversized vehicles obstructing a road, plow route, or access can be cited and towed under the California Vehicle Code. Posted size/weight restrictions are enforceable under CVC §22507; violations are handled by the Sheriff or CHP with citation and possible tow.
