South Bend prohibits parking commercial and oversized vehicles in residential zones. Semis, box trucks, and large equipment cannot be stored on residential streets or lots outside active deliveries.
South Bend's neighborhood parking rules prohibit parking a commercial or oversized vehicle in residential zones. Large trucks, semi-tractors and trailers, box trucks, and heavy equipment cannot be stored on residential streets or in residential yards and driveways. Commercial vehicles may stop temporarily for an active delivery, pickup, or on-site service call, but not for overnight or long-term storage. Smaller work vehicles such as a personal pickup or van generally fall outside the oversized-vehicle restriction. Enforcement is handled by Neighborhood Services and Enforcement and the parking division.
Parking a commercial or oversized vehicle in a residential zone brings a code-enforcement notice and municipal fines. Repeat or obstructing violations can lead to ticketing and towing at the owner's expense.
