Redlands, CA Parking Rules: Commercial Vehicle Restrictions (2026)

Under RMC 10.40.150 (Parking of Commercial Vehicles in Residential District Prohibited), no person may park or stand any commercial vehicle, truck tractor, semitrailer or trailer having a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or more on any street, alley or parkway in any residential district of the city. In non-residential districts, the rule is a time limit rather than an outright ban: no person may stop, stand or park such a heavy vehicle (maximum gross weight exceeding 10,000 pounds) for a continuous period exceeding two hours, and each consecutive two-hour period counts as a separate violation. Any qualifying commercial vehicle, truck tractor, semitrailer or trailer left parked or standing on any street, alley or parkway in excess of 24 hours may be towed pursuant to California Vehicle Code 22651(n). The two-hour non-residential restriction does not take effect on a given street (except alleys) until signs or markings giving adequate notice have been posted. The ordinance typically includes exceptions for vehicles actively making deliveries or engaged in construction-related work for a reasonable time. This local rule is stricter and more specific than the California Vehicle Code, which leaves commercial-vehicle weight restrictions to local authorities; Redlands uses the 10,000-pound GVWR threshold to keep large trucks out of neighborhoods.
