Clarkstown, NY Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Section 278-11D targets commercial trucks specifically, separate from the general parking rules in the rest of the same section. It provides that "when parking is not otherwise restricted," no person may park a commercial vehicle on any town-dedicated sidewalk, street or highway within the unincorporated portion of the Town of Clarkstown for more than three hours. The three-hour cap is a time limit, not an outright ban: a commercial vehicle can stop to load, unload or make a delivery, but leaving it parked on a residential or commercial street beyond three hours becomes a violation even where no other posted restriction applies.

The same section separately bans parking buses on town streets unless authorized by signage (chartered buses may park at their destination where parking is otherwise allowed), and bans parking trailers or semitrailers unless attached to a towing vehicle, except while loading at off-street platforms. Article I's truck-route power in § 278-6A(7) lets the Town Board also exclude trucks and tractor-trailers over 10,000 pounds from non-truck-route highways altogether, and § 278-6A(8) lets the Board temporarily bar vehicles over four tons from highways it finds would be damaged by their weight, subject to a hardship-permit process through the Town Board.
