The town of Rye has enacted a ban on overnight parking and camping in all vehicles, including campers and vans, citing public health and safety issues. The ordinance, effective immediately, prohibits the practice from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on all town roads, parks, and beaches, with violators facing a $100 fine. Police state the measure primarily targets beachgoers and visitors, not the homeless population, and will initially focus on education over enforcement.
