Parking regulations

From Nomad Life Wiki

Parking regulations have a big impact on nomadic living, and finding parking is always subject to national and local rules, laws, and ordinances. Some localities, lawfully or otherwise, restrict the activities which are part of life in a vehicle, especially for parking on streets and other public properties. This is especially important for stealth camping, since you may not be noticed by most people but will be noticed by the police and by any property owners who have had parking problems. Note that it may be allowed to park your vehicle in a certain location, but it may not be allowed to sleep in your vehicle in that same location.

In the list of regulations below, preference is given to entries with citations of primary and/or secondary sources. Unsubstantiated listings use the word "unofficial" or similar. Seasonal street parking laws due to snowplowing are not included. This list is incomplete; you can help by editing this wiki.

When parking in a new city or town, it's a good idea to do a web search for "City name parking regulations". Always look for posted signs restricting parking. Some locations have special rules during winter (to accommodate snow plows) or during special events.

United States

After Martin v. City of Boise in 2019, the approach of ordinances started shifting somewhat for states in the 9th Circuit (AK, CA, HI, ID, MT, NV, OR, WA). That ruling "recognized the right for unsheltered individuals to sleep in public when shelter is not available. The ruling allows for reasonable restrictions on when and where people can camp on public property if no other shelter is available.[1]

Famously, the original Los Angeles law against living in a car was struck down by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals as being "unconstitutionally vague".[2] Since the 9th Circuit covers much of the west coast this may have special value for snowbirds.[3] A similar shift occurred in 1972 when SCOTUS struck down Jacksonville, Florida's vagrancy law.[4]

Rest areas may or may not allow overnight parking and sleeping in your vehicle. Rules vary by state.
