Prince William County allows on-street parking on most public highways, but restricts commercial vehicles in residence districts and may designate special restricted zones for recreational vehicles. Independent cities (Manassas, Manassas Park) set their own rules.
General street parking on County-maintained public roads follows PWC Code Chapter 13, Article X (Stopping, Standing and Parking Generally). The County does not blanket-ban ordinary passenger-car parking, but layers on specific limits: commercial vehicles are barred from residence districts (13-327), and the Board can create restricted zones banning RVs, boats, motor homes, and camping trailers from designated streets (13-320.1). Most residential streets in Prince William are part of the state secondary road system (VDOT), so both County ordinance and state traffic law apply. HOAs commonly add private-street parking rules the County does not enforce.
Parking violations are enforced by PWC Police; illegally parked vehicles may be ticketed and towed under Chapter 13, Article X.
