Trinity County, CA Parking Rules: Oversized Vehicle Parking (2026)

Trinity County does not set a unique length or weight limit for oversized vehicles parked on most residential county roads; statewide CVC Division 15 controls vehicle size and weight on all public roadways. The County's only direct oversized-vehicle parking restriction is Code §10.48.035 (Restricted parking on Court Street), which allows only compact cars on one stretch and only vehicles 'which do not exceed five feet in height, including any load thereon' on another, and provides that 'trucks, pickup trucks, vans, recreational vehicles, travel trailers, motor carriers, buses or similar vehicles shall not be parked' on those portions of Court Street in Weaverville. For heavy and oversize loads moving on county roads, Code Chapter 10.56 (Size, Weight and Load) requires road-department permits to exceed state weight limits (§10.56.010) or to move a trailer coach wider than the Vehicle Code allows, up to ten feet (§10.56.030). Posted bridge limits in Code §10.28.010 cap gross weight at 14,000 pounds on the Old Lewiston Bridge and Rush Creek Drive. In snow areas, the Snow Removal Policy #2010-01 requires that vehicles and trailers be kept at least five feet off the roadway, and vehicles blocking snow removal 'may be towed away at owner's expense.'
