## How it works

Street rules are in the [Traffic and Parking Regulation Bylaw 2006, No. 275](<https://lillooet.civicweb.net/document/96233/>). Rules for your lot are in the [Zoning Bylaw No. 2025-026](<https://lillooet.civicweb.net/document/94551/>) (sections 5.6 and 5.19). Trailers include boat trailers.

## Good to know

- On a street: an RV may not be parked on any highway for more than 4 hours at a time. A motor vehicle may not stay over 72 hours without moving (unless the owner is a resident), and none over 24 hours on a highway. A trailer must be attached to a motor vehicle. Unlicensed vehicles and trailers may not be parked on a street. A commercial trailer may not park attached on a street for more than 2 hours. No camping overnight on a street.
- On your lot: one RV belonging to the owner or occupier may be stored or parked per parcel. With more than one permitted dwelling and room for on-site storage, one per dwelling. More than one unlicensed trailer is not allowed outside. A guest's RV is allowed as one extra, up to 30 days a year. No RV hook-up to municipal sewer or water.
- Living in an RV: not on a street or public place.
