Commercial vehicles - tractor-trailers, dump trucks, panel trucks over a certain weight - are restricted from overnight parking in Roswell residential zoning districts. The city's right-of-way 10-continuous-hour limit also applies.
Roswell's residential zoning rules and Chapter 22 jointly restrict commercial vehicle storage in single-family neighborhoods. Tractor units, semi-trailers, dump trucks, and box trucks above a passenger-vehicle weight class may not be parked overnight in residential zoning districts. A landscape trailer, work pickup, or service van used by a homeowner is generally treated like a passenger vehicle if it does not exceed the weight thresholds and is registered to the resident. On public streets the 10-continuous-hour cap in §22.4.1 applies to all vehicles and effectively prohibits overnight commercial parking on residential streets.
Overnight commercial vehicle parking in a residential zone is a code violation citable in Municipal Court with fines up to $1,000 per day. Roswell PD can also tow the vehicle if it exceeds the §22.4.1 10-hour cap on a city street.
