LA Expands RV Parking Bans To Parts Of West LA And Coastal Neighborhoods

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.
What streets are affected
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:
West Los Angeles
- Both sides of Barrington Avenue between Sardis Avenue and Brookhaven Avenue
Westchester
- West side of Barnsley Avenue between 83rd Street and 85th Place
Venice
- Glencoe Avenue between Venice Boulevard and Zanja Street
Cypress Grove
- Both sides of Lindblade Street between 11891 Lindblade Street and 11805 Lindblade Street
Playa Vista
- Both sides of Millennium Drive between Village Drive and Westlawn Drive
- Both sides of Westlawn Avenue between Millenium Drive and Bluff Creek Drive
- Both sides of Bluff Creek Drive between McConnell Avenue and Village Drive
- Both sides of Kiyot Way between Villosa Place and Pacific Promenade
- Both sides of Pacific Promenade between Seabluff Drive and Para Way
- Both sides of Playa Vista Drive between Jefferson Boulevard and Pacific Promenade
Marina Peninsula
- Both sides of Hurricane Street between Pacific Court and Canal Court
- Both sides of Pacific Avenue between Mast Street and Northstar Street
Playa Del Rey
- Both sides of Pershing Drive between Manitoba Street and Waterview Street
The Los Angeles Department of Transportation will be posting “tow away, no parking” signs around the impacted street segments.
These restrictions will add to the overnight RV parking bans that the city council approved at least three times last year, mostly in Councilmember Park’s district.
The number of people living in RVs across the city and L.A. County has exploded over the past few years — up 31% countywide from 2020 to 2023, according to annual homeless counts.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
