Under LAMC §80.69.4, vehicles longer than 22 feet or taller than 7 feet — RVs, box trucks, large trailers — cannot park on Los Angeles streets between 2am and 6am unless the operator obtains an LADOT overnight permit for that block.
Ordinance 182242, codified at LAMC §80.69.4, prohibits oversized-vehicle parking on city streets from 2am to 6am where signs are posted. Oversized means longer than 22 feet or taller than 7 feet, including motorhomes, commercial box trucks, large trailers, and buses. Owners may apply to LADOT for short-term overnight permits valid up to 72 hours, useful for loading, visiting, or repairs, with a limited number per year per vehicle. Persistent unpermitted parking triggers tow and storage fees that quickly exceed citation amounts. Posted signage on each affected block is required for enforcement.
Parking an oversized vehicle on a posted street between 2am and 6am without an LADOT permit is cited under LAMC §80.69.4, with fines around 77 dollars and tow plus storage charges for repeat offenders.
