Los Angeles regulates commercial freight loading through the LADOT Curb Management Strategy and Mobility Plan 2035. Yellow-curb loading zones, off-hour delivery pilots, and downtown last-mile micro-hubs aim to reduce double-parking and emissions in dense corridors.
Yellow curbs are LAMC §80.73 commercial loading zones, generally enforced 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday with a 20-minute limit for trucks. Mobility Plan 2035 (adopted 2015, amended) directs LADOT to convert curb space toward dynamic uses, including freight. A 2020 DowntownLA pilot tested last-mile micro-hubs where larger trucks transferred parcels to cargo bikes and small electric vans. Off-hour delivery pilots (10 p.m. to 6 a.m.) target high-congestion corridors. Trucks over 6,000 lbs face additional restrictions on residential streets per LAMC §80.36.
Loading-zone overstays draw $73 citations; double-parking in travel lanes is $93. Truck-route violations or oversized trucks on restricted residential streets face fines starting at $158.
