Parking commercial trucks and equipment in residential areas is restricted by local ordinance. In Bel Air it is unlawful to park a commercial vehicle, trailer, or equipment in a residential district except while actively loading or unloading.
Maryland leaves residential commercial-vehicle parking to local governments, so the rule depends on where you live in Harford County. The Town of Bel Air makes it unlawful to park any commercial vehicle, trailer, or equipment on a public or private road right-of-way in a residential district, or to store one on a residential lot, except when the vehicle is actually engaged in loading or unloading. Public-utility trucks making repairs and trucks parked during construction of a residence are exempt. Aberdeen and Havre de Grace impose comparable limits, and the county zoning code restricts commercial and heavy vehicles in residential districts.
Parking a prohibited commercial vehicle in a residential district is a municipal infraction, with fines that repeat daily until the vehicle is removed, and oversized vehicles left in the right-of-way may be ticketed and towed.
