## How it works

The [Traffic and Road Safety Bylaw No. 226](<https://www.barriere.ca/Home/DownloadDocument?docId=4790a995-df1c-45c4-8407-32286498d732>) bans parking an RV, camper, house-trailer or bus on any street from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m., or where it is a hazard. 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.

## Steps

1. Keep RVs and campers off the street from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.
2. 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.
3. Call the District Office at 250-672-9751 if you are unsure.

## Good to know

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
