The “Drive Around the Block” Trick No Longer Works
You’ll often hear this tip at birthday parties: “Just take it for a quick drive after three days, then the clock resets.” Don’t bother—enforcement officers aren’t naïve. They now use digital case files and time-stamped photos to prove you’re trying to circumvent the rules.
The law refers to “consecutive parking,” but courts have repeatedly ruled that briefly moving the camper (a quick loop around the block) does not reset the clock. The purpose of the rule is to prevent a permanently cluttered streetscape. If your camper sits on the driveway 360 days a year and you occasionally drive it around, you’re evading the rule—and that’s not allowed.
