Cobb County, GA Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Section 118-149 of the Cobb County Code sits in Chapter 118's article on stopping, standing and parking, a chapter that by section 118-1 applies to all portions of the county road system, meaning residential subdivision streets and cul-de-sacs are covered the same as commercial corridors. , shortened further only where the traffic engineer posts signs approved by the board of commissioners. Subsection (b) is the operative rule for commercial vehicles: no person may park or stand a truck or other freight-carrying vehicle exceeding 12,500 pounds gross vehicle weight on any public street or highway for longer than one hour, at any time of day or night, with no business-district limitation and no signage requirement, so the cap applies on ordinary residential streets throughout unincorporated Cobb County.

Subsection (c) separately bars stopping or standing any truck or bus with a body wider than eight feet or taller than ten feet on any street or public place unless the driver or chauffeur is actually present and in charge of the vehicle. The section traces to Ordinance of 7-27-76, § 51 (codified 1977 as § 3-24-51) and was last amended January 22, 2002. County police and other law enforcement officers authorized by the director of public safety enforce the chapter under section 118-32. The rule reaches only unincorporated Cobb; drivers parking inside Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Acworth, Powder Springs or Austell fall under that city's own truck-parking ordinance instead.
