Gardena limits oversized vehicles through two Municipal Code chapters: heavy commercial vehicles over 10,000 pounds are banned from residential streets under Chapter 10.28, and recreational vehicles need an overnight permit under Chapter 10.60.
Gardena regulates oversized vehicles rather than setting a single length or height cap. Under GMC Chapter 10.28, no bus, motor truck, semitrailer, trailer coach, or truck tractor over 10,000 pounds unladen weight may park on any street or alley in a residential district except for a pickup, delivery, or block service (with the Vehicle Code Section 22507.6 exemption). Recreational vehicles, campers, and trailers are governed by GMC Chapter 10.60, which requires a Gardena PD permit to park on a city street between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. All oversized vehicles are also bound by the 72-hour continuous-parking limit and street-sweeping restrictions of Chapter 10.28. Gardena publishes no separate blanket length limit beyond these provisions.
Oversized commercial vehicles in residential zones or unpermitted overnight RVs are cited and may be towed.
