Full Breakdown
1401 as any motorized or nonmotorized vehicle exceeding 25 feet in length, 7 feet in width, or 7 feet in height, expressly including buses, truck tractors, semi-trailers, motor trucks, trailers, campers, camp trailers, and house cars. 1403(a) bars parking and leaving standing, for more than 24 hours, on any street or highway in a residential district: any motor vehicle over 25 feet long; any oversized vehicle used for hire, compensation, or profit in transporting people; any bus, motor truck, trailer, semi-trailer, trailer coach, or truck tractor wider than 90 inches; and any item of farm or special-purpose machinery.
Subsection (b) separately forbids diagonal parking of an oversize vehicle at any time if its length obstructs the normal flow of traffic or narrows the traveled roadway. Subsection (c) carves out genuine exceptions to the 24-hour cap: a vehicle may remain longer while actually loading or unloading, while performing or aiding a service call to a property on the same block, or while undergoing an emergency repair to the vehicle itself, up to a maximum of 120 consecutive hours in that last case. 1306, works alongside this rule for through-truck traffic: it bars any vehicle over five tons from any street that is not a posted truck route at all, and bars parking a truck or semi-trailer on a non-route street outright, regardless of the 24-hour residential exception in Article 14.
Violations & Fines
A violation of the 24-hour residential parking cap or the diagonal-parking ban is enforced as a civil parking-violation notice under Section 4-9.823, with the fine set by City Council resolution. Vehicles exceeding the five-ton truck-route limit under Section 4-9.1305(d) or parked on a non-route street under Section 4-9.1306 can additionally be cited for violating the route restriction itself, separate from any parking penalty.
