Milpitas restricts commercial vehicle parking under Chapter 100. Where signs are posted, commercial vehicles cannot park overnight (9 p.m.-6 a.m.) or at all hours on certain streets, except briefly to load or unload. The City also designates truck routes and bans vehicles over set weight limits from posted streets.
Commercial vehicle parking in Milpitas is regulated by several provisions of Title V, Chapter 100. Section V-100-12.10 prohibits stopping, standing, or parking any commercial vehicle between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. on streets where authorized signs are posted, except to load or unload materials or passengers within the limits of Section V-100-11.03. Section V-100-12.12 allows the City to post streets where commercial vehicle parking is prohibited at all times, again with a load/unload exception. Loading itself is limited: under Section V-100-11.03, permission to stop for loading materials applies only to commercial vehicles and may not exceed 20 minutes. The City designates 'Truck Traffic Routes' for vehicles over a three-ton gross weight limit (Section V-100-12.05), and may prohibit vehicles exceeding a four-ton gross weight from posted streets (Section V-100-12.07), with delivery and construction exceptions. Section V-100-12.06 lets the City bar commercial vehicles entirely from designated streets; that prohibition does not apply to house cars or camper-type pickups that are not classified or licensed as commercial vehicles. Disabled commercial trucks of 4,000 pounds unladen or more must display warning devices under Section V-100-10.13. Violations are civil penalties, and offending vehicles may be removed under Section V-100-12.09.
Civil parking penalty under Sections V-100-12.10 and 12.12 for parking a commercial vehicle on a signed-restricted street; removal and storage authorized under Section V-100-12.09 and California Vehicle Code Section 22651.
