Inyo County, CA Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

Inyo County addresses loading and special zones within Title 10, Chapter 10.36 (Stopping, Standing and Parking), which governs where and when vehicles may stop, stand or park on county roads. The chapter's prohibitions apply at the times specified and are coordinated with official traffic-control devices, curb markings and signs; a driver must not stop, stand or park in conflict with those markings except to avoid traffic or follow an officer's direction. Time-limit provisions in the chapter do not relieve a driver from the more restrictive provisions of the California Vehicle Code. In practice, dedicated commercial loading zones are uncommon on rural unincorporated county roads, and loading/unloading is most often governed by the general Vehicle Code rules on stopping only momentarily to load or unload passengers or materials where otherwise lawful. Where the county does establish marked zones, the controlling designation is the curb marking and posted signage. The Board of Supervisors may designate restricted or special zones by resolution.
