Summary
Section 351.16 of the Oregon, Ohio Codified Ordinances bars parking a truck over 7,500 pounds gross vehicle weight, a tractor-trailer, a passenger bus or a self-propelled motorhome on any street or alley all day on Sundays and legal holidays, and between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on every other day. Short loading and emergency stops are excepted.
(a) No owner or operator of any truck over 7,500 G.V.W., tractor or trailer, passenger bus, or self-propelled motorhome shall park or permit the same to be parked on any street or alley at any time on Sundays and legal holidays, or between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on any other day, except for a period not to exceed thirty minutes for the purposes of loading or unloading merchandise, permitting the operator to eat, or for other necessary purposes, or except as may be necessitated by an emergency. ... (b) Whoever violates any provision of this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor on a first offense; on a second offense within one year after the first offense, the person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree; on each subsequent offense within one year after the first offense, the person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the third degree.
Full Breakdown
on any other day. The section carves out a narrow thirty-minute window for a vehicle that is actually loading or unloading merchandise, letting the operator eat, or handling some other necessary purpose, and it lifts the curfew entirely when an emergency necessitates the stop. 03 violation applies. The Division of Police enforces the curfew, and because the section names specific vehicle categories rather than a general weight limit, a passenger car or a pickup truck under the 7,500-pound threshold is not covered.
Violations & Fines
A first violation of Section 351.16 is a minor misdemeanor. A second offense within one year of the first becomes a fourth-degree misdemeanor, and any further offense within that same year is a third-degree misdemeanor, with the fine increasing at each level.
