Vista restricts commercial vehicles over 7 tons on residential streets to designated truck routes. Oversized or overweight vehicles require special permits from Traffic Engineering. Home occupation vehicles follow zoning restrictions.
Vista has established a system of designated truck routes for legally loaded vehicles exceeding 7 tons gross vehicle weight. Commercial vehicles on residential streets are subject to these route restrictions. Oversized or overweight vehicles (as defined in the California Vehicle Code) require a special permit from the Traffic Engineering Division for movement on city streets. Temporary parking permits for posted 'No Parking' zones are available on a case-by-case basis from Traffic Engineering (760-643-5426). Home occupation vehicles must comply with zoning code provisions regarding commercial activity in residential areas. The VMC mixed-use zones (Chapter 18.35) prohibit storage of motor vehicles, trailers, campers, boats, or parts in certain commercial contexts.
Truck route violation: traffic citation. Oversized vehicle without permit: citation. Contact Traffic Engineering at 760-643-5426.
