Full Breakdown

City Code Section 541.04A(G) bars parking a camper, a trailer not hitched to a vehicle, or a boat on any Pittsburgh street for more than two hours overnight, from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Oversized vehicles and unconnected trailers face the same two-hour overnight cap specifically within residential zoning districts under Section 541.04A(H). Neither section restricts parking these vehicles on a private driveway or in a residential yard, only on-street parking is regulated. Wheelchair-accessible vans are exempt from both provisions.

Violations & Fines

General Chapter 541 penalty applies where no other penalty is set: up to $25 plus costs equivalent to summary-offense costs (Section 541.08). Vehicles left overnight can also be tagged and, if unmoved, towed.
