On the boulevards of Barriere Town Road and Barriere Lakes Road, no parking over 48 hours. Every street is a snow removal route, with no parking from November 1 to April 1 (Public Works posts the hours). Commercial vehicles over 5,500 kg, which includes any truck and trailer combination, need a Commercial Vehicle Parking permit to park or be stored in a residential zone.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Keep RVs and campers off the street from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.\n2. On your own lot, check the [Zoning Bylaw No. 111](<https://barriere.municipalwebsites.ca/ckfinder/connector?command=Proxy&lang=en&type=Files&currentFolder=%2FDevelopment%20Related%2F&hash=c245c263ce0eced480effe66bbede6b4d46c15ae&fileName=Bylaw%20No%20111%20Zoning%20Bylaw%20-%20CONSOLIDATED%20July%202025%20with%20MAP.pdf>). It has no rule limiting where, how many or what size RVs, boats or trailers may be kept on a residential lot. Residential zones require 2 off-street parking spaces per dwelling unit.\n3. Call the District Office at 250-672-9751 if you are unsure.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Living in an RV on a lot: an RV may serve as temporary accommodation only while a building permit for a new principal building is in force. Then it must be removed (Zoning section 3.6). RV Parks need a development permit.\n- Parking an RV on a street from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. is not allowed, so sleeping in it there is not either.\n- The Traffic and Road Safety Bylaw sets a fine of up to $2,000 on conviction. Bylaw notices or municipal tickets may be issued, but neither current ticket schedule lists a Bylaw 226 offence. Ask the District what ticket applies.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.barriere.ca/Home/DownloadDocument?docId=4790a995-df1c-45c4-8407-32286498d732","title":"Traffic and Road Safety Bylaw No. 226 (PDF), District of Barriere","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://barriere.municipalwebsites.ca/ckfinder/connector?command=Proxy&lang=en&type=Files&currentFolder=%2FDevelopment%20Related%2F&hash=c245c263ce0eced480effe66bbede6b4d46c15ae&fileName=Bylaw%20No%20111%20Zoning%20Bylaw%20-%20CONSOLIDATED%20July%202025%20with%20MAP.pdf","title":"Zoning Bylaw No. 111, consolidated July 2025 (PDF), District of Barriere","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.barriere.ca/Home/DownloadDocument?docId=249399a5-4a3d-488d-bd31-16d639d294fc","title":"Municipal Ticketing Information Bylaw No. 71, Amendment No. 151 (PDF), District of Barriere","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.barriere.ca/Home/DownloadDocument?docId=aaac793f-9b92-48b7-870d-baf4e54f2279","title":"Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 95 (PDF), District of Barriere","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 4 of 5 facts was matched to the official text; 1 is recorded as not set."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/barriere/rv-boat-trailer-parking/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/barriere/rv-boat-trailer-parking.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/barriere/rv-boat-trailer-parking.json"}}
