South Fulton, GA Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Chapter 2 of Title 8 defines a 'restricted vehicle' in section 8-2001 as any commercial vehicle, semi-trailer, trailer or truck heavier than 26,000 pounds. Section 8-2004 makes it unlawful to park such a vehicle, or a non-motorized vehicle or conveyance towed by one, on the right-of-way of any residential street, ramp, road or highway under city jurisdiction, or on residential-zoned property, unless the vehicle is actively making a delivery to that property. School buses are expressly excluded, and construction vehicles, trailers or equipment temporarily on site for a dwelling under active construction are also exempt.

, regardless of whether a delivery exception would otherwise apply during the day. Both sections state that a heavy vehicle parked in violation is automatically treated as an abandoned vehicle and a public nuisance, making it subject to removal under the same authority that governs abandoned vehicles elsewhere in Title 8. This chapter works alongside the truck route system in section 8-2002, which restricts where a restricted vehicle may even drive within the city, so a heavy truck is doubly constrained: it must stay on designated truck routes while moving, and it cannot linger in a residential area at all overnight.
