Summary

Beloit requires any business served by an alley to load and unload there, not at the curb. Section 13.12 of the Code of Ordinances flatly bars loading or unloading merchandise on the highway in front of a store or building that has alley access, and a violation draws the same forfeiture Chapter 13 imposes on any parking offense.

No loading or unloading of merchandise shall be permitted on any highway or to any store or building where such store or building is serviced by an alley.

Full Breakdown

12 of the Beloit Code of Ordinances is a single flat rule: no loading or unloading of merchandise is permitted on any highway when the store or building being served has alley access. A delivery driver cannot double-park on the street front of a shop with a rear alley door, even briefly, once that alley exists and is usable for the delivery. 12 applies. 12 itself, fixes a given block's specific loading-zone hours and location. 11.

Violations & Fines

A Section 13.12 violation is enforced as a Chapter 13 parking offense: the Beloit Police Department can cite the vehicle and, absent a specific forfeiture for the offense, the driver owes the general parking forfeiture under Section 13.25(4)(c), $15 if paid within 10 days or $30 after, plus court costs and surcharges if the matter goes to a summons.

Frequently Asked Questions

My store has an alley behind it. Can my supplier still unload out front?
No. Section 13.12 bars loading or unloading merchandise on the street or highway whenever the store or building is serviced by an alley, so the delivery has to use the alley door regardless of how convenient the front curb is for the driver.
How do I find out where the official loading zones are in downtown Beloit?
Check the Index of Special Locations kept by the City Clerk and Police Department under Section 13.02. It lists every designated loading zone, along with time-limit parking and no-parking blocks, and the City Council updates it by resolution as loading needs change.
What's the fine for illegal loading in Beloit?
Under Section 13.25(4)(c), a parking citation for an unspecified Chapter 13 offense like illegal loading settles for $15 if paid within 10 days of the ticket, or $30 after that, and unpaid tickets can draw a summons or an arrest warrant for the registered owner.
