Summary

Ogden City bars 'restricted vehicles' such as trucks over 18,000 pounds gross, over one and a half tons rated capacity, or longer than 45 feet, from parking on residential streets under section 10-5-22 except while actually loading or unloading, and never for more than eight hours even then. A truck idling and unattended for more than three minutes is deemed parked.

10-5-22: RESTRICTED VEHICLES; ... PARKING REGULATIONS: A. Defined: ... For purposes of this section, "restricted vehicle" shall mean: 1. A vehicle or trailer with a rated capacity of one and one-half (11/2) tons or more; 2. A vehicle or trailer licensed for more than eighteen thousand (18,000) pounds gross; 3. A vehicle or trailer with a length of more than forty five feet (45') or a width of more than eight feet (8'); ... ... B. Residential Area; Loading And Unloading: No person shall park, or allow to remain standing, any "restricted vehicle", as defined in subsection A of this section, upon any street, part of a street or roadway in any residential area of the city except while actually loading or unloading. In no event shall it remain parked for purposes of loading or unloading in excess of eight (8) hours.

Full Breakdown

Section 10-5-22 of Ogden City Code defines a 'restricted vehicle' as any vehicle or trailer with a rated capacity of one and one-half tons or more, licensed for more than eighteen thousand pounds gross, longer than forty five feet, wider than eight feet, or as construction equipment or farm machinery outside the exceptions in sections 7-4-3 and title 7, chapter 5. Subsection B bans parking or leaving such a restricted vehicle standing on any street in a residential area of the city except while actually loading or unloading, and even then caps that loading stop at eight hours.

Subsection C treats a restricted vehicle as 'parked', even with the engine running, whenever it sits unattended by a lawfully authorized driver for more than three minutes, unless it is genuinely loading or unloading under subsection B. Separately, section 10-5-23 imposes a parallel twenty four hour cap on 'restricted recreational vehicles', oversized RVs exceeding seven feet in height, eight feet in width, or twenty feet in length, in residential areas, and bans parking one within thirty feet of an intersection. Both sections target the same problem: large trucks, trailers, and RVs occupying residential streets long-term rather than passing through or making a brief commercial stop.

Violations & Fines

Parking a restricted vehicle on a residential street beyond the eight hour loading window, or leaving it unattended more than three minutes outside that window, violates section 10-5-22 and is enforceable as a parking citation under title 10. Because the vehicle is unlawfully parked, the Ogden Police Department may also impound it as a nuisance vehicle under section 10-8-1, with towing and storage costs charged to the owner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my semi truck in front of my Ogden house overnight?
No. Section 10-5-22 bans parking a 'restricted vehicle,' which includes any truck or trailer licensed for more than eighteen thousand pounds gross or longer than forty five feet, on a residential street except while actually loading or unloading, and even then for no more than eight hours.
How long can a delivery truck idle in front of my Ogden home?
Under section 10-5-22(C), a restricted vehicle is legally considered 'parked' once it sits unattended by an authorized driver for more than three minutes, even with the engine running, unless it is genuinely loading or unloading under the eight hour allowance in subsection B.
Does the truck parking limit also cover big RVs in Ogden?
RVs are covered by a related but separate rule: section 10-5-23 caps a 'restricted recreational vehicle,' one taller than seven feet, wider than eight feet, or longer than twenty feet, at twenty four hours on a residential street, and bars parking one within thirty feet of an intersection.
