Residential Parking Regulations:
The City of Vancouver recognizes that residents have a priority in parking on their streets and have a few ways to help reduce outside parking pressures. 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
