Summary
Sandy Traffic Code Section 14-7-5 makes it unlawful to park, store or leave any recreational vehicle, camper, boat, boat trailer, utility trailer or automobile hulk on a public street, alley, sidewalk or right-of-way at any time. The ban covers jet skis, snowmobiles and four-wheelers as recreational vehicles.
It shall be unlawful to park, place, store, abandon, or otherwise leave any recreational vehicle, non-motorized vehicle or any unmounted or unattached camper, boat, boat trailer, utility trailer, camp trailer, or any other type of trailer, or any automobile hulk, on any public street, alley, sidewalk, or right-of-way at any time. For the purposes of this section, the term "recreational vehicle" shall mean a vehicular unit, other than a mobile home, primarily designed as a temporary dwelling for travel, recreational and vacation use, which is either self-propelled or is mounted on or pulled by another vehicle. In addition, boats, jet skis, snowmobiles, four-wheelers, etc., shall also be considered as recreational vehicles.
Full Breakdown
" as recreational vehicles for purposes of the ban. Because the prohibition applies "at any time," there is no daytime loading exception or short-term grace period written into the text, unlike the general parking rules in neighboring Section 14-7-3, which tolerate brief stops; an owner who needs to load or unload a boat or camper on a public street risks a violation the moment it is left unattended on the right-of-way. The rule reaches unmounted or unattached equipment specifically, meaning a detached boat trailer or camp trailer parked on a street is banned even if no other vehicle is present.
This section sits in Chapter 14-7, Parking, alongside the narrow-roadway and driveway-blocking rules, and Section 14-3-1's general Title 14 penalty applies: an infraction, since Section 14-7-5 is not among the sections the Code elevates to a misdemeanor.
Violations & Fines
Leaving an RV, camper, boat, boat trailer, utility trailer, camp trailer, jet ski, snowmobile, four-wheeler or automobile hulk parked, placed or stored on a Sandy public street, alley, sidewalk or right-of-way at any time violates Section 14-7-5 and is an infraction under Section 14-3-1's general penalty clause.
