Erie County does not set residential oversized-vehicle parking limits; those are municipal. New York State regulates vehicle size and weight on highways, and Erie County DPW issues oversize or overweight travel permits for county roads and bridges.
Limits on parking large trucks, buses, and oversized vehicles in residential areas are set by each town, city, and village under New York Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 1660. Statewide size and weight limits for vehicles using the highways come from the NY Vehicle and Traffic Law. When an oversize or overweight load must travel a county-maintained road or cross a county bridge, the Erie County Department of Public Works issues the special-hauling permit and may set the route. Within county parks, driving or parking more than five feet off the roadway is prohibited and the speed limit is 15 mph. For where you may park an oversized vehicle overnight in a neighborhood, check your municipal code.
Residential oversized-vehicle penalties are set by municipal code; oversize or overweight travel without a permit is enforced under state law and county DPW permit conditions.
