In Boxmeer, neighbors are frustrated with a 7-meter motorhome that has been parked on a driveway for over five months for two consecutive years. The owner is not breaking rules as it is on private property, but on public roads, parking is limited to three days in most municipalities in North Brabant. The number of fines for violations increased from 218 in 2015 to 1,175 in 2024.
