Full Breakdown
City Code § 58-292 lists where mobile food units may not vend: streets with a speed limit over 30 mph, four-lane divided roadways, and active school crossing zones. Vendors must be lawfully parked, serve from the curb side (never the side facing moving traffic or to customers standing in the roadway), and keep a 200-foot clear sightline to the unit in each direction. Stopping on the left side of a one-way street to vend is also prohibited. Mobile food units must still comply with all zoning regulations.
Violations & Fines
Violations are enforced under the mobile food unit permit program (§ 58-291); operating outside these rules risks permit suspension or revocation.
