Clayton County cities require commercial and heavy vehicles in commercial districts to park only in posted loading zones or docks, and prohibit their operators from sleeping or parking overnight in those areas.
Loading and unloading in Clayton County's commercial areas is confined to designated zones. In Forest Park, a heavy or commercial vehicle allowed into a commercial-district parking lot must park only in areas designated and posted as loading zones or docks, or in spaces not set aside for customer parking. Using those loading zones or docks for overnight parking or sleeping is strictly prohibited. Developments must also provide off-street loading space sized to the maximum number of trucks handled at one time. Unincorporated Clayton County and Jonesboro set their own off-street loading requirements in their zoning codes for commercial and industrial uses.
Blocking or misusing a loading zone, or sleeping/overnighting there, is a municipal-code violation enforced by citation and fines; vehicles may be ordered moved.
