Parking of commercial vehicles in residential neighborhoods is regulated by individual towns within Monroe County. Many municipalities restrict overnight parking of heavy trucks or vehicles with commercial advertising on residential streets.
Monroe County does not have a countywide commercial vehicle parking ordinance for residential areas. New York Vehicle & Traffic Law provides the statewide framework, and individual towns add local restrictions. Many Monroe County municipalities restrict or prohibit overnight parking of commercial vehicles (typically defined as vehicles over a certain weight, such as 10,000 lbs, or vehicles with commercial advertising) on residential streets. The City of Rochester has specific provisions for commercial vehicle parking. Business operators using commercial vehicles from residential properties should check their town's zoning and traffic codes to ensure compliance.
Traffic infraction; fines vary by municipality. Vehicles may be ticketed and towed.
