Summary
Florissant's City Traffic Engineer designates and signs passenger and freight curb loading zones under Chapter 360; once posted, a vehicle may stand there only while actively loading or unloading, and a passenger zone caps that stop at three minutes.
No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle for any purpose or period of time other than for the expeditious loading or unloading of passengers in any place marked as a passenger curb loading zone during hours when the regulations applicable to such curb loading zone are effective, and then only for a period not to exceed three (3) minutes. ... No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle for any purpose or length of time other than for the expeditious unloading and delivery or pickup and loading of materials in any place marked as a freight curb loading zone during hours when the provisions applicable to such zones are in effect.

Full Breakdown
Section 360.010 gives the City Traffic Engineer authority to determine where curb loading zones sit and to post signs stating the hours during which the zone applies. A private business or property owner can also request a dedicated curb loading zone under Section 360.020 by applying for a permit, paying a $10.00 annual service fee, and receiving two signs marking the zone's ends; the permit expires after one year and must be renewed. Once a zone is posted, Section 360.030 limits standing in a passenger curb loading zone to the expeditious loading or unloading of passengers, capped at three minutes, during the zone's posted hours. Section 360.040 applies the same expeditious-use standard to freight curb loading zones, limiting standing there to the loading, unloading, delivery or pickup of materials, without a separate fixed minute cap in the text. None of these sections states its own fine, so violations default to the City's general penalty clause.
Violations & Fines
Chapter 360 sets no fine schedule of its own in these sections, so a loading-zone violation defaults to Florissant's general penalty, Section 100.080: up to a $1,000 fine, up to three months in the City or County Jail, or both, with repeat-day violations chargeable separately.
