South San Francisco restricts large commercial vehicles from parking in residential zones. South San Francisco's industrial character means commercial vehicles are common, but residential streets remain regulated.
Although South San Francisco is known as 'The Industrial City' with a large biotech and industrial sector, commercial vehicle parking is restricted in residential zones. Large trucks and commercial vehicles that are not serving a residential property may not be parked long-term on residential streets. Home-based businesses must ensure commercial vehicles do not violate residential parking restrictions. Contact Code Enforcement at (650) 877-8535 for complaints.
Parking citations $50 to $250. Repeat violations: increased fines. Towing for oversized or illegally stored commercial vehicles.
