Full Breakdown

Section 9-4-040(E) of the Marietta Code lets the city council designate specific streets, posted with signs, where commercial vehicles are restricted. The section defines a 'commercial vehicle' as any motorized vehicle designed or used to transport goods, wares, merchandise or mail, covering everything from delivery vans to tractor-trailers. On a designated street, a commercial vehicle may travel only while actually receiving goods or making a delivery along that specific street, and the driver must enter and exit by the nearest intersecting street rather than using the restricted street as a through route.

Before posting a restriction, city council policy requires considering reasonable alternate routes for commercial traffic. 00 and up to 30 days' imprisonment, with bond amounts set by the chief judge's bond schedule. This sits alongside the separate business-vehicle parking rule elsewhere in the zoning code limiting where a business may store its own fleet vehicles in a required parking or storage yard, but Section 9-4-040(E) is the operative rule for through-traffic restrictions on designated residential and other posted streets.

Violations & Fines

Driving a commercial vehicle through a posted designated street, other than to load, unload or deliver along that street and exit by the nearest cross street, is enforced by a Marietta police citation delivered to the driver when possible. A conviction in Municipal Court carries a fine of up to $200.00 and up to 30 days in jail, with bond set under the court's standing bond schedule.
