RV parking is now banned between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. on more than a dozen streets around the coastal neighborhoods of L.A. in City Councilmember Traci Park’s district.
The L.A. City Council approved the move in a 9-2 vote on Wednesday.
Councilmembers Eunisses Hernandez and Hugo Soto-Martinez voted against it, and Councilmembers Bob Blumenfield, Marqueece Harris-Dawson, John Lee, and Katy Yaroslavsky were absent.

Parking oversized vehicles, which is anything more than 22 feet long or 7 feet high, will be banned during those overnight hours on the following streets in Council District 11:
