## On the street

- No one may park a trailer, motor home or other vehicle used mainly for accommodation during travel or recreation on a street, outside designated areas, for more than 4 hours.
- A trailer detached from its towing vehicle may not be parked on a street. The bylaw does not name boats; a boat on a trailer is caught only if the trailer is detached.

## On your property

- In residential zones no one may park or store a self-propelled camper or travel trailer, except one camper or travel trailer up to 10 m long, one utility trailer up to 4 m long, and one boat or vessel up to 10 m long.

- Fines: parking contrary to the Streets and Traffic Bylaw, unauthorized parking and storage in a residential zone, and tent, trailer or mobile home use are each $100 as a bylaw notice ($50 if paid within 14 days) or as a municipal ticket ($50 if paid within 30 days).
