## How it works

The [Parking and Traffic Bylaw No. 0009](https://sunpeaks.civicweb.net/document/54039/) applies to all vehicles in Sun Peaks and has no separate rule for RVs, boats or trailers. On highways (roads open to the public):

- November 1 to April 30: no parking on any highway in the municipality.
- May 1 to October 31: no parking on the odd-numbered side of a municipal road, and none in a cul-de-sac.
- All year: no parking on any highway longer than 36 hours, and none for camping.

## Good to know

- Commercial vehicles are barred from highways except for loading and service work.
- Fine: a [bylaw notice](https://sunpeaks.civicweb.net/document/55686/) is $65, or $40 if paid within 14 days, for parking on a highway from November 1 to April 30, on the odd side, in a cul-de-sac, over 36 hours or for camping on a highway right-of-way.
