Section 32-40(h) targets heavy and commercial vehicles specifically: any vehicle registered at 12,000 pounds or more, any truck, trailer, semitrailer, truck-tractor, road tractor, or vehicle used to commercially haul garbage or rubbish, and any vehicle or combination with more than two axles. None of these may be parked on a city street, highway or right-of-way that isn't a designated county road or state highway for longer than 15 minutes, unless the vehicle is actively being loaded or unloaded at that spot. The definitions incorporate Minn. Stats. § 169.01.
