In Lancaster County parks, marked passenger or loading zones may be used only for prompt loading and unloading of passengers or materials—not general parking. On public streets, loading zones are established and enforced by each municipality.
The Lancaster County Park System regulations govern loading zones inside county parks: a vehicle may stop, stand, or park in a marked passenger or loading zone only for expeditious loading or unloading of passengers, or for delivering, picking up, and loading materials. Idle or overnight parking in those zones is prohibited. Beyond the parks, curbside loading zones on public streets are a municipal function—each city, borough, and township designates and enforces its own commercial loading zones under 75 Pa.C.S. §6109. The county sets no loading-zone rule for municipal streets.
In county parks, misuse defaults to a $20 fine (registered owner liable). On streets, penalties follow each municipality's vehicle-and-traffic ordinance.
