A box trailer parked on a suburban street, converted into a mobile garden with various plants, including leafy greens, growing in the trailer bed. The trailer features a wooden bench attached to its side and a wire fence around the garden. A blue heart decoration and a sign with text are visible on the fence.

S1E46 RR360 Parking for trailers, caravans, tiny homes, across footpaths and on the kerb

In this Road Rules 360 episode of the Streets and People podcast, host Wendy Nash and retired road rules expert John Burrill navigate the complexities of parking trailers, tiny homes, and mobility devices on public roads. They break down the intricacies of registering and parking box trailers in suburban Queensland, discuss the implications of using these trailers as mobile gardens or bike lockers, and explore the legalities of parking mobility scooters, bicycles, and potentially tiny homes. They also highlight the broader social implications of utilising street spaces for non-vehicular purposes, emphasising the importance of considering neighbourhood aesthetics and road legalities. The episode aims to clarify misconceptions and provide practical advice to ensure compliance and harmony within community spaces.

Get Around Cabo Carfree is a community movement advocating for more transport options for people in Caboolture and Morayfield who can’t drive – and that is more than 4 in 10 people (a surprising not-so-fun fact about our town – check the About page for details). Our podcast has 3 broad topics.

Road Rules 360 (RR360) cohosted with John Burrill, former TMR subject matter expert for Qld’s road rules. We discuss the road rules for people riding a bike, walking, in a wheelchair or on a scooter or other personal mobility device (PMD). 

Not Everyone Drives (NED) are conversations with people who don’t drive for any reason. They may have a disability, on medication, strapped for cash, too young, too old, unlicensed or they had a collision and now they’re too scared (you might be surprised why a person can’t drive and how the lack of alternatives impacts their daily living). This one’s for policymakers to understand the implications for their decisions. 

People & Projects (P&P) are for transport advocates and people who are curious to hear what’s happening globally and locally. These are interviews with academics, advocates and community group leaders.

Our Goals

1. All children can ride to school on safe streets 

2. All young adults can get to work or study without needing a car so they begin adulthood without a debt of $15,000 a year. 

A lack of transport options leads to a high financial burden for
families, businesses and governments.

The only way we can be sustainable for the long term is with your help.
