Washtenaw County does not designate loading zones on public streets; each city sets them. Ann Arbor establishes loading zones by traffic-control order under Chapter 126 and the Michigan Uniform Traffic Code, marked by official signs.
Loading zones and their hours are established by the local municipality, not the county. In Ann Arbor, parking, standing and loading on streets are governed by Code Chapter 126 (Traffic), which adopts and supplements the Michigan Uniform Traffic Code; the city designates loading zones and time limits through traffic-control orders and posts them with official signage. Only vehicles actively loading or unloading may occupy a signed loading zone during posted hours. Because these zones are created administratively and marked on-street, drivers should follow the posted signs rather than assume a countywide standard.
Parking in a signed loading zone in violation of posted limits is a civil infraction; the vehicle may be ticketed and towed under Ann Arbor Chapter 126.
