Commercial vehicles over 3 tons restricted in residential areas. Delivery vehicles allowed for active deliveries. LAMC Title 8 and CVC §22507 govern.
LAMC and CVC §22507 restrict oversized commercial vehicle parking in residential zones. Vehicles in excess of certain weights may not park on residential streets except during active delivery. Delivery windows: 7 AM–10 PM within 200 feet of a residence (LAMC §114.03). In Los Angeles residential areas, commercial vehicles over a certain gross weight (typically 10,000-14,000 lbs) are generally prohibited from overnight parking on public streets or in front yards. Landscape trucks, panel vans, and box trucks may be subject to restrictions even when lighter. Enforcement is complaint-driven through LA 311. Businesses should use commercial yards or off-street lots for overnight storage.
Commercial vehicle parking violations on residential streets carry fines. Heavy-duty vehicle weight violations under Section 80.36.1 result in citations when signs are posted. Escalating fine schedules apply to repeat offenders.
