Loading zones on local streets are designated by each city or township, not the county. Kent County does directly control loading and parking at Gerald R. Ford International Airport, where its ordinance defines a 'loading zone' and lets the Aeronautics Board set no-parking and load-only areas.
On ordinary streets, loading zones are established, signed, and enforced by the municipality, so rules and time limits vary by community. The one place Kent County itself defines and enforces loading zones is Gerald R. Ford International Airport, under the county's airport traffic and parking ordinance. That ordinance defines a loading zone as 'a space or section of a street or highway which has been set aside for the exclusive use of loading or unloading persons or property,' and authorizes the Kent County Aeronautics Board to designate load-only and no-parking areas where 'motor vehicles shall not be stopped for any purpose other than to load or unload passengers,' marked by posted signs. For a loading zone on a city street,
Parking outside designated areas or overstaying a load-only zone at the airport violates the county ordinance and carries the penalties set in it, plus possible tow. On city streets, loading-zone violations are municipal parking citations.
