Greensboro bans street parking of oversized vehicles (over 80 inches wide or 30 feet long) except during loading or emergencies. RVs and boats must be stored on improved driveway surfaces.
Under the Greensboro Code of Ordinances Chapter 16, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, oversized vehicles are defined as those exceeding 80 inches in width or 30 feet in length, or any vehicle with a trailer attached. RVs, boats on trailers, and large campers typically exceed these thresholds and cannot be parked on residential streets. Oversized vehicles may only park on public streets while actively loading or unloading, providing emergency services, or during temporary construction use. For on-property storage, the Land Development Ordinance requires vehicles to be parked on improved surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, or gravel driveways rather than on grass or bare ground. The first violation results in a warning, the second offense within 12 months brings a $75 citation, and subsequent offenses may result in the vehicle being towed at the owner's expense. Residents should contact Greensboro 311 at (336) 373-2489 for questions about compliant storage options.
