Restrictions on parking oversized vehicles on public streets are set by each Milwaukee County municipality under Wis. Stat. 349.13, not by the county. In county parks, oversized vehicles must observe posted lot restrictions and hours.
Milwaukee County does not maintain a county-wide oversized-vehicle street-parking ordinance. Under Wis. Stat. 349.13(1e)(a), local authorities may prohibit, limit the time of, or otherwise restrict the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles on the streets under their jurisdiction, and the county's cities and villages use that power to bar large trailers, buses, motorhomes and long vehicles from residential blocks. Milwaukee County's direct authority applies on park drives and county-owned lots, where oversized vehicles must fit designated spaces and observe posted hours; oversized rigs are not permitted to camp or park overnight in county parks. Check your municipality for length and weight limits on your street.
Oversized-vehicle street violations are ticketed by the city or village under its traffic code. In county parks and lots, oversized vehicles left overnight or outside marked spaces may be ticketed or towed at the owner's expense.
