Highland, CA Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Chapter 10.16 of the Highland Municipal Code (Overweight Parking Restrictions) sets the rule for heavy commercial vehicles left on public ways in the City of Highland, San Bernardino County. Section 10.16.010(A) makes two separate acts unlawful. The first is parking or allowing to be parked any truck tractor, motor truck, trailer, semi-trailer or combination thereof exceeding a gross weight of five tons on a public street, highway or alley within the city. The second is aimed at the owner, who cannot allow such a vehicle to remain standing on those public ways. The test is gross weight, not the trade of the driver or the neighborhood, so a rig that crosses five tons falls under the rule wherever it is left on the street.

Subsection B lists what is still allowed. On a designated truck route, the vehicle can stay for a period of time not exceeding one hour. On streets that are not designated truck routes, it can stop while making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares or merchandise from or to any property adjacent to or abutting the street. The code also permits parking in connection with and in aid of the performance of a service to or on property in the block where the vehicle is parked.

Subsection C gives the city engineer discretion in commercial zones. By posting appropriate signs, the engineer can permit limited parking for these vehicles where prohibiting it is determined to be contrary to the public interest. Subsection D takes industrial zones out of the section entirely.

The chapter governs public streets, highways and alleys. Highland regulates inoperative vehicles kept on private lots separately in Chapter 10.20, and recreational vehicles under Chapter 10.28, so a truck owner has to check those chapters as well as this one.
