The City of Nelson plans to take a practical and common-sense approach to enforcing its truck-length bylaw, following concerns about oversized vehicles blocking downtown roadways. Nelson’s traffic bylaw limits vehicles to six metres in downtown angle parking spots, but city staff said enforcement has been difficult because drivers may not know the rule exists. “I know bylaw will let folks who have vehicles too long for those angled spots know that they’re in violation and should be looking for alternatives. Johnson said the city intends to enforce the bylaw reasonably, rather than automatically penalizing every vehicle that exceeds six metres. “I think there is some misunderstanding that every truck over six metres would be barred from angle parking downtown.
