About Voter-Approved Measure C

No Parking Oversized Vehicle sign After Mountain View voters approved the Measure C ballot measure in the November 2020 election, the City of Mountain View began implementing what is referred to as the Narrow Streets Ordinance. Measure C passed with 56.6% of the vote in the November 2020 election.

The city ordinance restricts the parking of oversized vehicles which exceed 22 feet in length, or 7 feet in width, or 7 feet in height, including boats, large trucks, and recreational vehicles (RVs), on narrow streets to address traffic safety concerns. Although going into effect on Dec. 18, 2020, the ordinance cannot be enforced until signage is installed on narrow streets. The signage process includes manufacturing of the signs, engineering to determine sign placement, and actual installation. The sign installation began in August 2021 and was completed in February 2022.
