In Lancaster County parks, no one may park a vehicle across more than one designated spot or in a way that obstructs traffic. Restrictions on oversized vehicles parked at homes or on streets are set separately by each municipality.
The county's enforceable oversized-vehicle rules apply in its park system. The Lancaster County Park System regulations bar parking a vehicle so as to take up more than one designated spot, to obstruct a roadway or parking area, or to block another vehicle. Off-park, whether an oversized RV, box truck, or dually may be parked on a residential street or in a yard is a municipal decision under the Municipalities Planning Code (53 P.S. §10101) and local traffic authority (75 Pa.C.S. §6109). Boroughs and townships commonly cap vehicle weight, length, or height in residential zones, so check the code where you live.
In county parks, a default fine of $20 per violation (registered owner liable); vehicles left over 48 hours are towed as abandoned. Off-park limits are enforced by each municipality.
