Commercial Vehicle Restrictions: Rialto vs San Bernardino

Can I park my work box truck at my Rialto house overnight?

Not if it has a one-ton-or-greater carrying capacity or a GVW above 10,000 pounds. §10.28.291 RMC prohibits storing such commercial vehicles in residential zones, and CVC §22507.5 lets the city extend that to on-street parking in residential districts.

Where can semi tractors and large trucks legally drive in Rialto?

On streets designated as truck routes under Chapter 10.41 RMC. The 2022 Citywide Truck Route Study updated those designations. Vehicles over the 5-ton weight limit must stay on truck routes except for the shortest reasonable path to an off-route origin or destination.

What if I'm just making a delivery in a residential area?

California Vehicle Code §22507.5 specifically exempts commercial vehicles actively making pickups or deliveries of goods, and vehicles delivering materials to a job site under a valid building permit. The exemption does not cover storage between jobs.

Does SCAQMD Rule 2305 affect a small business?

Rule 2305 (Warehouse ISR) primarily applies to warehouse operators with buildings of 100,000 square feet or more — not to individual truck owners. It drives how Rialto warehouses manage diesel trucks at their gates and yards.

Can I park my work van overnight in front of my San Bernardino home?

Vehicles under 10,000 pounds and 22 feet generally may park overnight in residential zones. Larger commercial vehicles, semi-tractors, and trucks with racks that exceed the limits are prohibited between the posted restricted hours.

Are food trucks subject to commercial vehicle parking rules?

Mobile food vending is regulated separately under the sidewalk vending and food truck provisions. Food trucks parked in residential areas overnight may still trigger commercial vehicle limits, so operators typically store them at a commissary.
