On Oct. 25, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to consider prohibiting large trailers and similar vehicles from parking on Altadena streets.

The amendment to the vehicle and traffic code has been brought up at several Altadena Town Council meetings, in part because, in some neighborhoods, RVs and other large vehicles not owned by residents are parked on the street for days at a time, creating a nuisance and generating complaints.

The amendment to the county code affects "non-conforming" vehicles, i.e.  greater than 8 feet side, 7 1/2 feet high, or 20 feet in length.
