How it works

The Traffic and Road Safety Bylaw No. 226 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. 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.
