Annapolis restricts commercial vehicle parking in residential zones overnight. Vehicles over 10,000 lbs GVW may not be parked in residential areas except for active loading/unloading. Historic District streets prohibit large trucks.
Annapolis Code prohibits commercial vehicles (those over 10,000 lbs gross vehicle weight, or marked commercial vehicles) from overnight parking in residential zoning districts. Exceptions allow brief loading and unloading during the day. Historic District streets — many narrow and cobblestone — impose de facto restrictions on large vehicles. Contractors must use staging areas outside residential blocks when possible. Delivery vehicles for businesses on Main Street and City Dock are regulated by commercial loading zone ordinances. Maryland Transportation Code §21-101 governs abandoned commercial vehicles.
Commercial vehicle overnight in residential zone: $75 citation. Repeat violation: tow at owner's expense.
