It shall be unlawful for any person to park, other than for loading or unloading, or maintain any truck or trailer in excess of one ton on the public square or any street, alley, or other public place adjacent to a public street or alley within the corporate city limits, unless the street, alley or parking area is a designated area allowing such parking.
Full Breakdown
S. S. 380 and Business 78, Farmersville Parkway, Welch Road, Bob Tedford Drive and County Roads 610 and 611. Section 71-121 separately prohibits parking any vehicle rated over one ton on any street, avenue or highway at all, and bars any vehicle, parked on-street or off-street, from blocking visibility at an intersection. Section 71-122 closes the loophole for stopped trucks: it is unlawful to park a truck or trailer over one ton on the public square or any street, alley or public place adjacent to a street or alley, other than for actual loading or unloading, unless the spot is a designated parking area.
Section 71-123(c) exempts government and franchised-utility vehicles, and exempts a truck making a legitimate business delivery off-route if the driver carries proof of origin and destination and takes the shortest route to and from the nearest point on a designated truck route. The city manager is directed to post signs marking the truck routes and any prohibited streets.
Violations & Fines
Violating Sections 71-120 through 71-122 is punished under the Code's general penalty, Section 1-3, capped at $500.00 per offense for most parking violations, though a higher $2,000.00 tier applies to other specified categories elsewhere in the Code. Section 1-4 makes each day a truck remains illegally parked a separate offense.
