There are now fewer places for RVs to park overnight after the L.A. City Council approved restrictions Friday for 30 additional streets across four districts.
The restrictions, which will affect the Westside, Porter Ranch, Van Nuys, and Arlington Heights, were approved by the council on a 10 to 2 vote, with council members Eunisses Hernandez and Hugo Soto-Martínez voting against. Council members Traci Park, Curren Price, and Katy Yaroslavsky were absent.

LA Adds RV Parking Bans To 30 More Streets Across The City
A similar agenda item that would add RV parking restrictions to nearly a dozen more streets in Councilmember Traci Park’s 11th district, including in Mar Vista and Westchester, was postponed to Wednesday.

Why it matters
The restrictions, which add to similar rules that were approved at least three times last year, will likely make it harder for people living in RVs, a population that has exploded in recent years.
From 2020 to 2023, the number of people living in RVs across L.A. County jumped 31%, according to annual homeless counts.
More than 35 people in an encampment of at least 10 RVs in Wilmington were identified by an Inside Safe operation on Thursday, Mayor Karen Bass’ office said in a statement.
More than 50 RVs on Forest Lawn Drive near Griffith Park were also cleared by an Inside Safe operation last December, according to the mayor’s office.
How will the restrictions be enforced?
Any vehicle that is more than 22 feet long or more than 7 feet high is banned from parking on the street segments from 2 a.m. through 6 a.m., where an “RV task force operation has taken place.”

The Los Angeles Department of Transportation will also be posting “tow away, no parking” signs and will prepare to start selling overnight permits for some of the affected streets, including those in West L.A.
People who live in or near those areas may be able to purchase a permit for their large recreational vehicles for $10 a day, for up to three consecutive days at a time, under Los Angeles Municipal Code section 80.69.4.
