Berks County sets no rule on parking commercial trucks in neighborhoods — municipalities do. In the City of Reading, heavy trucks, trailers and tractors may not park in view from the public street for more than one hour without a permit.
Commercial-vehicle parking in residential areas is regulated by each Pennsylvania municipality, not the county. In the City of Reading, Code § 564-105 restricts trucks, trailers and tractors: those over about 10,000 pounds GVWR (plus medium/heavy tow trucks, car carriers and lowboy trailers) may not remain parked in plain view from the public right-of-way for more than one hour. Reading townships and boroughs each set their own weight thresholds and time limits for commercial parking on residential streets, so a landscaper's or contractor's truck rule in Wyomissing may differ from Muhlenberg's.
In Reading, exceeding the one-hour truck/trailer/tractor limit under § 564-105.A carries a $125 initial fine, escalating for nonpayment.
