QUICK SUMMARY
Boise officials urge residents to keep vehicles parked correctly as cooler weather approaches. Long-term parking of RVs and trailers on public streets raises safety concerns and may lead to citations. Residents should follow city codes to avoid issues with abandoned vehicles.
The Boise Police Department and City of Boise emphasize the importance of proper vehicle parking as the cooler months approach. Boise City Code prohibits parking on public streets for more than 72 hours without a permit, and vehicles left unattended for over 24 hours may be classified as abandoned. Residents should move their vehicles regularly and store RVs and trailers off public streets to avoid safety hazards and potential citations. It's crucial to check parked vehicles frequently, especially after inclement weather. Residents can report suspected abandoned vehicles to the Boise Police Vehicle Impound Unit or City of Boise Parking Services for action. Keeping vehicle registration and contact information current aids city staff in reaching owners if necessary. The initiative aims to maintain safe and accessible streets, enhancing the community's overall appearance. By adhering to these guidelines, Boise residents can contribute to a safer neighborhood throughout the fall and winter seasons.
