Summary
Bryan caps commercial loading-zone stops at 30 minutes and lets the city manager designate loading zones by sign after a traffic study.
No person shall stop, stand, or park a vehicle for any purpose or length of time other than for the expeditious unloading of material or persons in any place marked as a loading zone during the hours when the provisions applicable to such zones are in effect. In no case shall the stop for loading and unloading of materials exceed 30 minutes.

Full Breakdown
The city manager designates loading zones citywide after an engineering and traffic investigation shows the zone serves public interest and safety. Once marked, a vehicle may stop there only for expeditious loading or unloading of material or passengers during the hours posted for that zone, and a loading/unloading stop for materials can never run past 30 minutes. Passenger vehicles may also stop briefly at a marked curb-loading zone while actively loading or unloading people. Any other stop, stand, or park in a marked zone is a violation.
Violations & Fines
Stopping, standing, or parking in a marked loading zone for anything other than active loading/unloading, or exceeding the 30-minute limit, is a citable parking offense under Ch. 118.
