Description:This guide is a product of the Marine Affairs Institute at Roger Williams University School of Law and the Rhode Island Sea Grant Legal Program. Matthew Lewicki, Rhode Island Sea Grant Law Fellow, authored this fact sheet under the guidance of Catherine Schluter, Research Attorney, and Julia Wyman, Director. All errors and omissions are the responsibility of the Marine Affairs Institute. This study is provided only for informational and educational purposes and is not legal advice. Rhode Islanders have the constitutional right to access the shore.1 In recent years, the state’s Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) has made substantial progress in discovering new rights-of-way and ensuring they are well-marked and easy to find. However, as a practical matter, Rhode Islanders living further than walking distance from the coast have significantly more difficulty enjoying these natural resources.2 This paper will investigate local parking regulations in Narragansett, Tiverton, Barrington, Westerly, and Warwick, specifically identifying influences on parking regulations in each town, the justification for regulations, and the potential impact that regulations may have on access to public rights-of-way.
