Residential Parking Regulations:
While all city streets are for public use, the City of Vancouver recognizes that priority residential street parking is needed on some residential blocks. Signs cannot be posted to reserve the space in front of a residental house for the sole use of its' occupant, however, there are a number of other measures used to reduce outside parking pressures in residential areas. One of the measures that applies to most streets in Vancouver is the Three Hour By-Law.
By-law No. 2849, Section 17.6(f) prohibits non-resident parking in front of any property for more than 3 hours between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
This by-law is meant to restrict commuters from regularly parking all day on residential streets. It is enforced on a complaint basis only, and usually only when a vehicle is found to be repeatedly in violation. The by-law is not meant to restrict legitimate visitors or area residents from parking on their own street. Residents may phone 3-1-1 for enforcement.
All other requests for restrictive residential signing will be established by City staff through Resident Permit Parking (RPP) or Vancouver Resident Permit Parking (VRPP) residential zones
