PSA: CPA Reminds Calgarians How to Park Their RVs
(firmenpresse) - CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/23/12 -- Each spring and summer, the Calgary Parking Authority (CPA) receives a number of complaints on how recreational vehicles (RVs) are being parked in residential neighbourhoods across Calgary. To maintain the expected community standards of Calgarians, the RV bylaw (section 17 of the Calgary Traffic Bylaw 26M96) was recently amended to allow enhanced enforcement of RVs by the CPA. The amendment allows location and time duration infractions to be enforced separately.
"Our main goal is to ensure RV owners are aware of the rules and comply," said Manager of Enforcement, Miles Dyck. "This bylaw amendment will help provide clarity to RV owners and reduce the number of complaints from Calgarians about RVs parked on public roadways."
On average, 300 tags are issued each year to owners of improperly parked RVs. Fines for failing to comply with the RV bylaw begin at $40 if paid within 10 days and range to $75 if paid after 30 days. There is a fine provision for hazardous parking of RV's of up to $160 but there has not been a need to issue any tags in 2011 for this activity.
To comply with the bylaw and be courteous to your neighbours, the CPA encourages RV owners to follow these tips:
