RVs Limited To 24 Hours On Street

PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP, MI — RV owners will no longer be allowed to park on the street indefinitely. Plymouth Township’s Board of Trustees recently voted to put a 24-hour restriction on RV street parking, amid complaints from residents about potential safety hazards and eyesores, according to Plymouth Observer report.

"Striking back in a 5-1 vote, the township board has adopted new rules placing a 24-hour street-parking limit on RVs such as motor homes, boats and trailers, folding tent trailers, pickup-truck campers, utility trailers and travel trailers that carry motorcycles, snowmobiles, go-carts and other vehicles."

"We had no way of stopping people from living in their RVs on the street," Township Supervisor Kurt Heise said. "This gives a tool to our police to go to somebody who is violation of the ordinance and ask them to move their RV. It's important to have a law in our hands to do that."
