Commercial vehicles, vehicles over 22 feet, and buses are ineligible for residential parking permits under 18 DCMR 2411-2413. Commercial vehicles face additional parking restrictions in residential zones and may not be stored long-term on residential streets.
Under DC's RPP program (18 DCMR 2411-2413), commercial vehicles, vehicles exceeding 22 feet in length, and buses cannot obtain residential parking permits. This means they are limited to 2-hour parking on RPP blocks during enforcement hours. Commercial vehicles used for deliveries may park temporarily in designated loading zones. Heavy commercial vehicles may be restricted from certain residential streets. DC zoning regulations under 11 DCMR may also restrict the storage of commercial vehicles on residential properties. Vehicles displaying commercial advertising are subject to additional regulations. DDOT manages loading zone designations and commercial vehicle access.
Commercial vehicle on RPP block without loading zone use: $50 ticket. Oversized vehicle violations: $50-$100. Repeat violations may result in towing.
