Richland County restricts what can be parked on public streets in residential zones: truck tractors, semi-trailers and trailers may not be parked on any public street, road or right-of-way in Rural Residential, Single-Family Residential, Manufactured Home or General Residential districts of the unincorporated county.
Sec. 17-10 of the county code makes it unlawful for a truck tractor, semi-trailer or trailer to be parked on any public street, road or right-of-way in unincorporated portions of the county designated Rural Residential, Single-Family Residential, Manufactured Home or General Residential. Ordinary passenger-vehicle street parking is not banned by this section, but the SC abandoned-vehicle law (56-5-5810/5850) applies to any car left unattended on a highway more than 48 hours. Within Columbia and other municipalities, city parking ordinances and posted signs control instead of the county rule.
Misdemeanor; fine up to $500 or imprisonment on conviction. Each day the violation continues after due notice is a separate offense.
