Summary

Franklin Township's code bars parking a vehicle other than a passenger car, including buses and motor homes, on streets named in § 15-402.404, but the Township's own table of covered streets is currently marked 'Reserved', meaning no specific street segment is presently listed as off-limits under this section.

It shall be unlawful for any person to park, or to allow to remain parked, on any of the following streets or parts of streets any vehicle other than a passenger car (which shall not include any bus, motor home or passenger car attached to a trailer of any kind): Street Between (Reserved)

Full Breakdown

Section 15-404, part of the General Parking Regulations adopted by Ord. 2009-05 on 8/19/2009, makes it unlawful to park, or allow to remain parked, on designated streets or parts of streets any vehicle other than a passenger car, a category the section expressly says does not include any bus, motor home, or passenger car attached to a trailer of any kind, meaning those vehicle types are treated as non-passenger cars subject to the ban wherever the rule applies. The section is structured as a table with 'Street' and 'Between' columns meant to name the covered segments, but as printed in the current code that table shows only '(Reserved)', so no street is presently designated under this specific section.

The Board of Supervisors amends this table by ordinance when it wants to add a street-specific truck or bus parking restriction, following the general procedure in § 15-102 that all permanent traffic and parking regulations must be enacted as ordinances or ordinance amendments. Until the Board designates streets here, township-wide truck and commercial-vehicle parking limits, if any, would have to come from elsewhere in the code, such as the location-specific total bans in § 15-402 or the loading and standing rules in § 15-407, rather than from this section.

Violations & Fines

Because no street segment is currently listed in the § 15-404 table, there is presently no active penalty exposure under this specific section; the general Chapter 15 penalty structure (commonly a $25 fine plus costs, or the sentence prescribed for that nature of violation elsewhere in the chapter) would apply automatically once and if the Board of Supervisors amends the table to designate a covered street or road segment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Franklin Township stop me from parking a work truck on a residential street right now?
Not under § 15-404 specifically. That section's table of restricted streets is marked '(Reserved)' in the current code, meaning the Board of Supervisors has not yet designated any street where truck, bus, or motor-home parking is banned under this provision.
What vehicles would be affected if Franklin Township activates its truck parking ban?
Section 15-404 defines the restriction to cover any vehicle other than a passenger car, expressly including buses, motor homes, and passenger cars attached to a trailer of any kind, once the Board designates a specific street or road segment in the table.
How would Franklin Township add a street to the commercial-vehicle parking ban?
The Board of Supervisors would have to enact an ordinance amendment under the general rule in § 15-102, which requires all permanent traffic and parking regulations to be adopted as ordinances, ordinance parts, or amendments, before a street could be added to the reserved § 15-404 table.
