California Vehicle Code §22651(k) establishes a 72-hour consecutive street parking limit. Oceanside enforces this through the Traffic Code. Beach areas and downtown have metered and time-limited parking. Residential permit programs may apply.
The Oceanside Traffic Code and California Vehicle Code §22651(k) prohibit parking any vehicle at one location on a public roadway for more than 72 consecutive hours. Vehicles exceeding this limit may be towed. Beach areas and downtown Oceanside have metered and time-limited parking, especially during summer tourist season. The Pier area and Oceanside Harbor have designated parking facilities with specific time limits and fees. Vehicles may not block or overhang sidewalks per CVC §22500(f).

On-street parking in residential neighborhoods follows the 72-hour rule unless posted with additional restrictions.
