In Elkhart, the city code bars vehicles or combinations over 30 feet long or 8 feet wide (cargo included) from parking on city streets except to make a local pickup or delivery, and prohibits parking tractors, detached trailers or semitrailers on streets.

Unregulated street spaces are 7-day parking zones, and during a declared snow emergency no vehicle may be parked on a snow route.
