Full Breakdown
City Code Sec. 97-123 bans 'overnight parking for storage' on any paved street in Longview, defined as habitually parking or storing cars, trucks, tractors, or other vehicles between sundown and sunup. The rule targets regular, all-night storage rather than a single night's stop: passenger cars parked temporarily and not on a nightly basis are not violations, and temporarily disabled vehicles marked with flares or approved signal devices are exempt. There is no separate commercial-vehicle-weight or residential-zone-specific parking ordinance in Longview's Traffic chapter; this citywide overnight-storage ban is the applicable street-parking restriction for trucks and tractors.
Violations & Fines
Habitually storing a truck, tractor, or other vehicle on a paved street overnight (sundown to sunup) violates Sec. 97-123; vehicles may be cited or impounded under the chapter's general enforcement provisions.
