Scranton, PA Parking Rules: Commercial Vehicle Restrictions (2026)

Pennsylvania's broader regulatory framework for commercial vehicles is set by the PA Vehicle Code (75 Pa.C.S.) and Title 67 of the PA Code (PennDOT regulations), with local Scranton rules layered on top through the City of Scranton Code and the Scranton Zoning Ordinance. The local Vehicles and Traffic chapter governs on-street parking by larger trucks, trailers and tractor units, typically restricting their on-street storage on residential streets and requiring use of designated loading zones for active commercial loading and unloading. 75 Pa.C.S. §3353 (Restrictions on parking) and §3354 establish statewide minimums (no parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, within 20 feet of a crosswalk, within 30 feet of a stop sign or traffic-control signal, in front of driveways, on sidewalks, on bridges or in tunnels) that apply to commercial vehicles as well. The Zoning Ordinance treats commercial-vehicle parking in residential districts as an accessory-use question with specific limits; storage of tractor-trailers, dump trucks and similar large equipment is generally limited to commercial and industrial zones. Enforcement is shared between the Scranton Police Department and the Scranton Parking Authority, which manages on-street meter and loading-zone compliance.
