Winter Recreational Vehicles Parking Laws

Winter recreational vehicles are sometimes given designated parking areas. Parking any other type of vehicle in these designated areas without a special winter recreational area parking permit can lead to a ticket. Be sure to pay attention to any parking signs and obey all limits on where and when parking is allowed. As always, if you are directed by a police office or traffic control device to park in a certain area, the officer’s direction trumps. The parks and recreation commission of Washington has the ability to establish further rules and regulations pertaining to traffic in parks, so when visiting a state park, be sure to familiarize yourself with all rules.

RCW 46.61.585: Winter recreational parking areas—Special permit required.

Except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic, or in compliance with law or the directions of a police officer or official traffic control device, no person shall park a vehicle in an area designated by an official sign that it is a winter recreational parking area unless such vehicle displays, in accordance with regulations adopted by the parks and recreation commission, a special winter recreational area parking permit or permits

RCW 46.61.587: Winter recreational parking areas—Penalty.

Any violation of RCW 79A.05.240 or 46.61.585 or any rule adopted by the parks and recreation commission to enforce the provisions thereof is a civil infraction as provided in chapter 7.84 RCW.
