Worcester regulates parking of recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers in residential areas. These vehicles should be stored on private property and are subject to street parking time limits if left on public roads.
Worcester's zoning and parking ordinances regulate the storage of recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers in residential zones. These vehicles should be stored on private property — in driveways, side yards, or rear yards. Extended street parking of RVs and boats is subject to the city's general parking time limits. During snow emergencies, all vehicles including RVs and boats must be moved from designated streets. Inoperable or unregistered vehicles may be treated as abandoned and removed. RVs may not be used as living quarters while parked on residential property. Boat trailers must not obstruct sidewalks or public rights-of-way.
Street parking violations: standard fines. Abandoned vehicle removal procedures apply. Snow emergency towing at owner's expense.
