Full Breakdown
170 targets residential streets specifically: no person may stop, stand, or park a commercial vehicle weighing over ten thousand pounds gross there unless doing so is reasonably necessary to carry out work or service requiring the vehicle's presence, such as a delivery, utility repair, or contractor job actively underway at a nearby address. The exception is tied to active work, not convenience parking. on streets in a commercial or industrial zone. 180 separately bars operating such vehicles on posted residential streets at all, citing the Vehicle Code Section 35703 exception for vehicles making local deliveries. Both the residential-parking rule and the streets-use rule were last amended by Ordinance 788 in 1993. 190.
