Summary
Myrtle Beach only allows a vehicle to sit on a street when parking is incidental to its actual use; storing dealer, garage or commercial vehicles on the street is prohibited. Commercial trucks may pull to the curb only while actively loading or unloading, using a center lane where one exists.
No vehicle shall be parked on any street except when such parking is incidental to the use and operation of the vehicle. The storage or parking on the streets of vehicles by garages, dealers or other persons, when such storage or parking is not incidental to the bona fide use and operation of the vehicle, is prohibited.

Full Breakdown
Myrtle Beach Code Sec. 12-100 bars parking a vehicle on any street unless the parking is incidental to the bona fide use and operation of that vehicle; storing or parking vehicles by garages, dealers or others for non-operational reasons is prohibited. Sec. 12-134 lets commercial trucks pull to a metered curb without charge only while actually loading and unloading, and requires them to use a center loading lane instead of the curb where one is available; a truck parked in a meter space beyond active loading is in violation. Loading-zone spaces (Sec. 12-87) may be used only for expeditious delivery or pickup. Horry County's zoning parking regulations govern off-street commercial parking requirements in the unincorporated county.
Violations & Fines
Illegal commercial street parking draws Myrtle Beach civil parking penalties from a $30 courtesy amount, escalating with late fees; repeat or nuisance vehicles may be impounded or towed.
