Full Breakdown

Sec. 14-17.4 targets large and commercial-type vehicles specifically in residential zones. It is unlawful to park or leave standing, occupied or not, on any street in a residential zone between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. any vehicle carrying the number-plate types listed in Schedule XXF if it has any one of five characteristics: height over eight feet, length over eighteen feet, width over seven feet, more than four wheels touching the ground, or a gross vehicle or combination weight rating over ten thousand pounds, the standard cutoff for classifying a truck as commercial.

Subsection (b) carves out four exceptions: a vehicle actually performing a service at the nearest residence for no longer than the job takes, a public service company vehicle responding to an emergency, a vehicle mid-delivery, and any vehicle the police have ordered left standing. The Sec. 14-34(b) penalty table fines this specific violation thirty dollars under the line item 'Nighttime truck parking in residential zones (9:00 p.m.-6:00 a.m.).' Separately, Sec. 14-17.2 bars any truck or trailer, including combination, camper, dealer, repairer or temporary-registration vehicles, over eighteen feet long from parking on the streets and lots the Town designates in Schedule XXB at any hour, not just at night, and that broader truck ban carries its own fifty-five dollar fine under the 'Truck parking prohibited' line of the same Sec. 14-34(b) schedule.

Violations & Fines

Parking an oversized or heavy vehicle overnight in a residential zone under Sec. 14-17.4 is fined thirty dollars per the 'Nighttime truck parking in residential zones' line of Sec. 14-34(b). Parking any truck or trailer over eighteen feet long anywhere Schedule XXB restricts, at any hour, is a separate violation of Sec. 14-17.2 fined fifty-five dollars under the schedule's 'Truck parking prohibited' entry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my work truck in front of my Greenwich house overnight?
Not if it exceeds the thresholds in Sec. 14-17.4: over eight feet tall, eighteen feet long, seven feet wide, more than four wheels touching the ground, or over ten thousand pounds gross vehicle weight. Parking such a vehicle in a residential zone between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. is a thirty-dollar violation unless it is mid-delivery or servicing the nearest home.
Are there exceptions to the nighttime large-vehicle parking ban?
Yes. Sec. 14-17.4(b) exempts a vehicle performing a service at the nearest residence for only as long as the job takes, a public service company vehicle responding to an emergency, a vehicle actively making a delivery, and any vehicle the police have ordered to stand there.
Is there a separate rule against parking trucks in Greenwich generally?
Yes. Sec. 14-17.2 bars any truck or trailer over eighteen feet long, including combination, camper, dealer and repairer vehicles, from the streets and lots the Town lists in Schedule XXB at any time of day, carrying its own fifty-five dollar fine separate from the nighttime residential rule.
