Fishers, IN Parking Rules: Commercial Vehicle Restrictions (2026)

The City of Fishers restricts heavy commercial vehicles in residential areas under § 72.34 (Truck Parking Restrictions) of the Code of Ordinances. The section makes it unlawful to park or leave standing any commercial vehicle, truck, trailer, or semitrailer that weighs 10,000 pounds or more on any highway, street, road, alley, or private property within any residential district in the city. The principal exceptions are parking for the purpose of loading or unloading and parking in a designated industrial zone or designated loading area. Fishers updated this ordinance so the residential restriction is keyed to commercial vehicles over 10,000 pounds, narrowing it from broader earlier language; the city publicized the change through its neighborhood communications. Violations of the parking provisions in Chapter 72 are subject to the general penalty for the parking chapters (§ 70.99). The restriction targets tractor-trailers, box trucks, and similar heavy commercial equipment being stored in neighborhoods; lighter personal pickups and work vans below the weight threshold are not covered by this particular section. Operators who need to load or unload in a residential area may do so temporarily, but should not use residential streets or lots for ongoing storage of qualifying heavy vehicles.
