Failure to do so may result in a citation. The Temporary Parking Permit must be clearly displayed on the dashboard, face-up on the driver's side. No overnight parking permits are issued to vehicles exceeding 6,000 lbs., non-motorized vehicles, trailers and vehicles exceeding 8-feet height, 6-feet width or 20-feet length.(View this information in Spanish/Chinese.)

DISABLED PLACARDS 

Vehicles displaying a current Disabled Placard are exempt from overnight parking restrictions 

RECREATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLE RESTRICTIONS 

The Alhambra Municipal Code prohibits overnight parking of commercial vehicles in industrial areas of the city. These vehicles are targets for graffiti and other types of vandalism, thereby making street sweeping impossible and creating blight in the industrial areas. It is against the law to live in a recreational vehicle on a public street in Alhambra.  Recreational vehicles are prohibited from parking overnight without a valid 72 hour permit that must be obtained from the Alhambra Police Department Traffic Section.  This permit will only be issued for the purpose of loading or unloading a recreational vehicle either before or after a trip.
