New Traffic By-law amendments introduce higher penalties in industrial areas and restrict recreational vehicle parking on public roads.
City services | June 29, 2026
The update includes a new Industrial Increased Highways Penalty (IIHP) schedule, which allows the City to apply higher penalties on designated roads where parking violations are creating ongoing safety and traffic concerns. Bren Road has been added as a key location under the schedule after continued enforcement issues in the area.
Under the new schedule, penalties are $300 for standard vehicles and $500 for heavy vehicles parked illegally on designated roads. These penalties are important because heavy vehicles have a greater impact on traffic safety when improperly parked on roadways.
Under the updated by-law, RVs include motorhomes, trailers, boats, snow vehicles such as snowmobiles and similar vehicles and equipment. RVs will no longer be permitted to park on public roads in Mississauga and may be subject to a $175 fine. This change is important because RVs parked on public roads can obstruct visibility, reduce available road space and interfere with road maintenance work. RVs may be permitted to park in a Residential Zone provided they are following Table 4.1.11 of the Zoning By-law.
