Alpine County, CA Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

Alpine County has no general code chapter establishing loading zones throughout the county; instead, specific loading and unloading areas are defined for the Bear Valley resort community under Chapter 10.12.050(C) during winter snow operations. Several segments of Bear Valley Road are reserved for loading and unloading passengers or freight with a fifteen-minute maximum, including a sixty-foot stretch one hundred feet north of Creekside Drive (subsection (C)(4)) and an area north of No Name Road where a twenty-foot emergency travelway must be kept open and no vehicle may be left unattended (subsection (C)(6)). The southeasterly one hundred feet of C Lot adjacent to the Bear Valley Transportation Center is restricted to passenger and freight loading with a fifteen-minute limit (subsection (C)(9)), and subsection (C)(11) reserves sixty feet on the south side of No Name Road for commercial loading serving area businesses from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Section 10.12.050(C)(12) forbids any vehicle from blocking the east entrance to the commercial area, which must remain clear for emergency access. On state highways and other county roads, stopping to load follows California Vehicle Code rules and any posted signs or curb markings, which Public Works is authorized to install under 10.12.060.
