Edison Township restricts the parking of recreational vehicles, campers, motor homes, trailers, boats, and buses on residential streets under Chapter 7 (Traffic) of the Edison Township Code. Vehicles over 4 tons gross weight and recreational vehicles parked on residential streets during restricted hours may be deemed a nuisance and towed at the owner's expense.
Edison's Chapter 7 (Traffic) restricts parking of recreational vehicles — including RVs, campers, motor homes, travel trailers, boats on trailers, utility trailers and buses — on residential streets, especially during overnight or other restricted hours. Vehicles exceeding 4 tons gross weight (8,000 lb) are likewise restricted on residential streets. Chapter 37 (Zoning) controls storage of these vehicles on private property: in residential zones, RVs, trailers and boats are typically permitted in the rear yard or side yard behind the front building line; storage in a required front yard is generally prohibited as an accessory use. Chapter 7 has been amended multiple times — most recently through Ord. O.2244-2025 (February 26, 2025) — to update the schedules of restricted streets. The Edison Township Police Department enforces street-side restrictions and may arrange towing of vehicles in violation, with the owner bearing removal and storage costs.
Violations of Chapter 7 traffic and parking provisions are punishable under the township's general penalty (Chapter 1 §1-5) — fines up to $50, or up to 15 days imprisonment, plus tow and storage charges if the vehicle is impounded. Repeat or aggravated violations may carry higher penalties. Zoning violations for improper RV/boat storage on private property are enforced by the Code Enforcement Office under Chapter 37.
