Bellflower, CA Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

Bellflower does not maintain an extensive stand-alone loading-zone chapter; instead it adopts and enforces the Los Angeles County Code's stopping, standing and parking provisions alongside the California Vehicle Code. Under the City's parking-violation schedule, parking in a commercial loading zone is cited under adopted LA County Code 15.64.020 at a $52 fine, and parking in a bus loading zone is cited under 15.64.110 at a much higher $262 fine (mirrored by California Vehicle Code 22500(i), also $262). Passenger loading zones are cited under 15.64.120 ($52). Loading zones in Bellflower are designated by curb color and posted signs following the statewide California Vehicle Code 21458 scheme: yellow curbs are for loading and unloading of freight or passengers (commercial loading), white curbs are for brief passenger loading and unloading, and green curbs are for short-term limited parking. Red curbs prohibit stopping, standing or parking at all. Time limits and permissible activities at a loading zone are governed by the posted signage and curb markings. Because Bellflower contracts policing to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and runs its own Parking Division, loading-zone violations are enforced by those agencies. Commercial vehicles using loading zones remain subject to the City's separate oversized/commercial-vehicle limits in BMC Chapter 10.16.
