Full Breakdown
Victoria's traffic code bars parking any commercial vehicle larger than a one-ton truck on a street in a residential district for more than thirty minutes, unless the driver is actively loading or unloading. The clock doesn't reset by moving the truck a few spots down the block: the intent is to keep heavy commercial rigs from becoming semi-permanent residential-street fixtures. A separate section bars parking any vehicle with an attached trailer wherever angle parking is required.
Violations & Fines
Violating the 30-minute commercial-vehicle limit is a Class C misdemeanor under the traffic code's general penalty provision, enforced by Victoria Police Department officers on complaint or patrol.
