## How it works

The [Traffic Bylaw No. 925, 2022](https://hudsonshope.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/01-Traffic-Bylaw-No.-925-2022_Redacted.pdf) bars parking a motor vehicle or trailer on a highway for more than 72 hours. Commercial vehicles may not park overnight on streets in residential areas. It also bans parking within 6 m of crosswalks and intersections, within 5 m of hydrants, and in front of driveways.

On private property, the [Zoning Bylaw No. 949, 2024](https://hudsonshope.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-06-07-Zoning-Bylaw-No.-949-Clean-Version-with-Maps-ORIGINAL-SIGNED-BY-2.pdf) says that in any R zone or the RU1 zone no one may park or store a boat or trailer outside a building, except one boat up to 11 m long and one recreational vehicle up to 14 m body length.

## Good to know

- Parking breaches of the Traffic Bylaw: $25 if paid within 14 days, $75 after 15 days. Other Traffic Bylaw offences carry a fine of up to $350 on conviction.
- Zoning offences such as unlawful land use or a prohibited commercial vehicle: $100 per offence per day. The bylaw names no offence for a stored RV or boat, so ask the District which applies.
- No rule was found on living in an RV on a street or lot.
- Amendments to the Traffic Bylaw (931 and 952) are scanned and were not read.
