Hackensack restricts overnight parking of commercial vehicles in residential zones. Trucks above weight thresholds may not be parked on residential streets or driveways for extended periods.
City ordinance prohibits parking commercial vehicles, including trucks, vans with commercial markings, tow trucks, and trailers exceeding specified weight limits, on residential streets overnight. Vehicles displaying commercial lettering or used for business purposes are restricted, with limits commonly applying to vehicles over 5,000 pounds gross weight or with more than four wheels. Brief stops for active deliveries, services, or loading are permitted. Commercial vehicles must be stored in commercial or industrial zoning districts, in approved off-street facilities, or in fully enclosed garages on residential properties.
