What is the rule-of-five when it comes to car parking in residential areas?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from City of Santa Barbara v. Adamson, 164 Cal.Rptr. 539, 27 Cal.3d 123, 610 P.2d 436 (Cal. 1980):

The rule-of-five might reflect an assumption that an unrelated group will be noisier, generative of more traffic and parking problems, or less stable than a related group of the same size. "But none of these observations reflects a universal truth. Family groups are mobile today, and not all family units are internally stable and well-disciplined. Family groups with two or more cars are not unfamiliar." (City of Des Plaines v. Trottner (1966) 34 Ill.2d 432, 216 N.E.2d 116, 119; see also State v. Baker (1979) 81 N.J. 99, 405 A.2d 368, 372.)
