Are there limits on what kind of vehicle I can park in a residential area?
Yes. In a residential area, parking is restricted to passenger cars and vans, pickup trucks or motorcycles. In other words any vehicle primarily designed for the transportation of people. Vehicles parked on the street are regulated by the Overland Park Police Department at 913/895-6000.
Flatbed trucks and pickup trucks with a bed and sidewalls different from the standard pickup bed and sidewalls may be permitted if all of the following are demonstrated:
- The length of the vehicle does not exceed 21 feet.
- The width of the vehicle does not exceed 7 feet.
- The height does not exceed 8 feet.
- The top of the highest sidewall is not more than 3 feet above the bed.
- The truck does not have permanently mounted equipment such as a crane.
Commercial vehicles cannot be stored in a residential area, but may be parked in a residential area on one occasion within a 30-day period for no more than 24 hours.
A vehicle is considered a commercial vehicle when it exceeds the above requirements.
