Clovis, CA Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

5's article on stopping and standing restrictions, targets three categories of vehicle: commercial trucks larger than one-ton size up to a gross vehicle weight rating of 15,000 pounds, buses, and commercial trailers of all types, defined in subsection (d) as any trailer used in connection with a business, for hire, or where compensation is derived from its use. None of those vehicles may sit on any public street, alley, right-of-way or highway in Clovis, other than a state highway, for more than four hours in a 24-hour period.

, regardless of how long they have been there. Subsection (c) carves out three situations where the restrictions do not apply: the vehicle is actively loading or unloading merchandise, materials or passengers; it is parked while performing a service on a property in the same block, for as long as reasonably necessary to finish that service; or it is an emergency vehicle used by a government agency or public utility responding to an incident. Subsection (e) defines a one-ton truck by the manufacturer's own one-ton size classification rather than a fixed weight figure. The section originated in the 1965 traffic ordinance and has been amended five times, most recently in 2019.
