Full Breakdown

Bridgeport Municipal Code § 10.12.030 sets an all-night parking ban on designated public highways between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. citywide. Subsection C singles out heavy trucks: no tractor, tractor-trailer, or commercial vehicle weighing 10,000 pounds or more, excluding its load, may park or stand on those designated streets between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., two hours earlier than the general ban. The police department enforces the restriction, and registered owners of qualifying commercial vehicles face steeper fines than ordinary passenger-vehicle violations under § 10.12.060(B).

Violations & Fines

First offense: $115 under § 10.12.060(B), rising to $230 if unpaid within 14 days, versus $30 for a passenger vehicle's night-parking violation.
