Summary

Mosinee bars parking any truck, bus or trailer over 10,000 pounds, longer than 16 feet, or taller than 8 feet on any city street outside a designated business district. School and other buses face an even tighter rule: no parking anywhere in a residential district except for the minutes needed to load or unload passengers.

(a)No person owning or having control of any truck, trailer, truck power unit, tractor, semitrailer, bus or any other vehicle or combination of vehicles weighing in excess of 10,000 pounds gross weight, or over 16 feet in length, or having an enclosed area of a height of more than eight feet from the roadway, shall park such vehicle upon any street, avenue or public way in the city except upon those streets within a business district as defined by Wis. Stats. § 340.01. ... (e)No operator of a school bus or other bus, regardless of its size, shall park such vehicle in a residential district, on the street, on a lawn, in the alley, in a driveway or anywhere else except for such time as is reasonably necessary to facilitate the loading and unloading of the vehicle, except that school buses may be parked at any Mosinee School District building when required.

Full Breakdown

Section 78-109 sets Mosinee's weight and size threshold for street parking: any truck, trailer, truck power unit, tractor, semitrailer, bus or combination of vehicles over 10,000 pounds gross weight, over 16 feet long, or with an enclosed area taller than 8 feet from the roadway may not park on a city street, avenue or public way unless the street sits within a business district as defined by Wis. 01. The ban does not stop a qualifying vehicle from stopping to load or unload goods, but only for the time actually needed for that work.

Motor homes and recreational vehicles used solely to carry people, and not lived in, are exempt as long as they are stored under section 42-715's land-use rules. The common council may designate specific truck parking zones at its discretion. School buses and other buses of any size may not park in a residential district, on a street, lawn, alley or driveway, except for the time reasonably needed to load or unload, though buses may park at any Mosinee School District building when required. A vehicle parked in violation may be towed by order of the chief of police, with towing and storage costs added to the section 1-13 forfeiture.

Violations & Fines

A vehicle parked in violation of section 78-109 may be ordered removed by the chief of police, and the owner or operator must pay the towing and storage costs in addition to the Code's general penalty under section 1-13: a $25.00 to $500.00 forfeiture for a first offense, rising to $50.00 to $1,000.00 for a repeat conviction within a year, plus costs of prosecution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my semi-truck on my residential street overnight in Mosinee?
No. Section 78-109 bars parking any truck over 10,000 pounds, 16 feet long, or 8 feet tall on city streets outside a designated business district, with no exception for overnight stops in a residential area.
Is there any exception for delivery trucks?
Yes. Section 78-109(b) allows a heavy or oversized vehicle to stop on a city street for the actual time needed to load or unload goods, wares or merchandise, even outside a designated business district, but the vehicle cannot remain once that work is finished.
Can a school bus park on my street?
Only briefly. Section 78-109(e) bars school and other buses from parking in a residential district, on a street, lawn, alley or driveway except for the time reasonably needed to load or unload students, though buses may park at Mosinee School District buildings when required.
