Berkeley restricts commercial vehicles over 10,000 pounds from parking on residential streets between 2am and 5am and limits continuous street parking to 72 hours.
Berkeley Municipal Code Chapter 14.40 prohibits parking of commercial vehicles with gross vehicle weight rating over 10,000 pounds on any residential street between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM. Vehicles with exterior commercial lettering, ladder racks, or utility bodies are presumed commercial. Loading and unloading for deliveries is permitted for reasonable duration typically 30 minutes. Commercial vehicles may park in designated loading zones during posted hours usually 7am-6pm with load sign restrictions. Long-term commercial vehicle storage must occur on private property in appropriately zoned districts under Title 23 Zoning Ordinance; most residential R-1 and R-2 zones prohibit commercial vehicle storage. Violations result in citations and towing under CVC 22651.
