Chester County has no countywide oversized-vehicle parking rule. Your borough or township controls parking of large trucks, buses, campers and trailers on public streets. West Chester Borough, for example, bans oversized vehicles and unattached trailers on public streets without prior approval.
Parking of oversized vehicles—RVs, buses, box trucks and large trailers—on public streets is a municipal matter in Pennsylvania. Under the Municipalities Planning Code and local parking ordinances, boroughs and townships set size, weight and duration limits; the county does not. West Chester Borough prohibits parking or leaving standing any oversized vehicle or unattached trailer on any public street, right-of-way, alley or Borough-owned lot without prior Parking Department approval, allowing narrow exceptions for on-site service or a mechanical breakdown up to 24 hours.
West Chester may remove an oversized vehicle that remains on a Borough street more than 48 hours; fines and towing costs are set by each municipality.
