Redlands restricts large vehicles through two main rules: heavy commercial vehicles and trailers rated 10,000 pounds GVWR or more are banned from residential streets (RMC 10.40.150), and detached trailers, campers, boats and similar oversized equipment must be screened from the street rather than stored in driveways or front yards (RMC 18.164.130).
Redlands does not have a single 'oversized vehicle' ordinance but controls big vehicles through several provisions. On the street, RMC 10.40.150 prohibits parking any commercial vehicle, truck tractor, semitrailer or trailer rated 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight or more on any street, alley or parkway in a residential district; in non-residential districts such vehicles may not park more than two hours where posted, and any left over 24 hours may be towed under California Vehicle Code 22651(n). For oversized recreational equipment, RMC 18.164.130 requires that detached truck campers, trailers of any type (camping, travel and utility), mobilehomes, boats and other watercraft incapable of self-movement be parked in an approved space or stored screened from the street, and not in a driveway or front-yard area unless the resident obtains a minor exception permit. A resident-owned motor home plus one commercially licensed vehicle of one-ton load capacity or less is exempt, provided no part overhangs the public right-of-way. All other oversized vehicles parked on the street remain subject to the general 72-hour storage limit (RMC 10.40.110), must be licensed and operable, and cannot block a driveway or sidewalk. Drivers should also watch for the 80-inch / state width and California Vehicle Code provisions, but the city's weight- and storage-based rules are the primary local controls.
Parking a 10,000-pound-or-heavier vehicle on a residential street, exceeding the posted non-residential time limit, or storing an oversized trailer/camper/boat in the front yard or driveway without a permit are all violations. Street-stored oversized vehicles can be stickered, cited and towed under the 72-hour rule and CVC 22651.
