## How it works

On the street, the ticket schedule in the [Bylaw Enforcement Bylaw 856](https://www.fraserlake.ca/media/566) makes these offences: parking a motor vehicle, trailer or RV on a boulevard without a valid permit; parking within 5 metres of a fire hydrant; and leaving a vehicle that interferes with snow removal. The Good Neighbour Bylaw No. 788, 2018 is named in the Village's ticket schedule but is not posted on the Village website. So time limits and the permit process are not stated.

On your property, the schedule lists "Recreational Vehicles in excess", but the limit is not readable. The [Zoning Bylaw 875](https://www.fraserlake.ca/media/480) bans outdoor storage of vehicles in disrepair or not licensed for the current year (s. 3.1.1(d)).

Living in a tent, RV, travel trailer or passenger vehicle on a lot is a prohibited use in all zones. The posted text does not say whether sleeping in an RV on a street is allowed.
