No person shall park a truck or trailer with a licensed capacity over four tons, or any motor vehicle which individually or in combination with a trailer exceeds 21 feet in length or seven feet in width, upon any street or alley for a period of more than one hour unless such vehicle is, after the expiration of such period, actually loading or unloading materials or passengers, or waiting an opportunity to so load or unload materials or passengers and providing the driver is present therewith.
Full Breakdown
Omaha's Sec. 36-176(a) bars parking any truck or trailer rated over four tons, or any vehicle (alone or combined with a trailer) longer than 21 feet or wider than seven feet, on a public street or alley for more than one hour: except while actively loading or unloading with the driver present. A small downtown exemption zone (roughly L to Q Streets, 20th to 36th) is carved out. Subsection (b) separately bans parking any trailer, including boat and house trailers, unless it stays hitched to a vehicle able to tow it. Violators face a public-nuisance tow under Sec. 36-231 plus a citation.
Violations & Fines
Parking enforcement can ticket an oversized vehicle or unattached trailer on the spot, a flat $7 fine plus admin fee per the city's fine schedule, and the vehicle may be towed as a declared public nuisance under Sec. 36-231.
