Full Breakdown
Commercial-vehicle parking in Fresno is addressed both as a neighborhood-preservation matter and through the general vehicle-storage limit. The Parking Division states that it preserves neighborhoods 'through management of parking regulations such as vehicles blocking sidewalks, commercial vehicles in residential areas, and immobilized vehicles,' which can be reported via the FresGO app or 311. Oversized commercial vehicles such as transport trailers, buses, semis and utility trailers also fall under FMC 14-1006, which prohibits using city streets to store vehicles beyond 72 consecutive hours. California Vehicle Code section 22507 supplies the state-law authority for the city to prohibit or restrict parking of vehicles - including those six feet or more in height - by ordinance once adequate signs or markings are posted.
Violations & Fines
A commercial vehicle parked in a residential area, blocking a sidewalk, or left immobilized may be reported to the Parking Division through the FresGO app or 311 and is subject to citation. Commercial and oversized vehicles stored on the street beyond 72 hours may be tagged and towed under FMC 14-1006 and California Vehicle Code section 22651(k). Posted height/weight restrictions are enforced under CA Veh. Code 22507 where signs are present.
