Loading zones in Erie County are designated and enforced by each town, city, and village, not by the county. Under New York Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 1660, municipalities set standing and loading restrictions on their streets and county roads.
Commercial loading zones, curbside loading times, and no-standing areas are established by the municipality that controls the street. New York Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 1660 lets town boards prohibit, restrict, or limit stopping, standing, and parking on town and county highways outside villages, which includes designating loading zones. Cities like Buffalo mark and enforce loading zones through their own parking chapters. Erie County's Department of Public Works maintains county roads but does not create curbside loading zones or issue loading-zone tickets. To request or learn the rules for a loading zone on a specific street, contact the town, city, or village traffic or public-works office.
Loading-zone violations are ticketed and priced by the municipality under its parking code and state V&T Law, not by Erie County.
