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

Trinity County's rural unincorporated road network does not include a published county-wide program of commercial loading zones. The County Code's only dedicated loading-zone provision is Chapter 10.52, which in §10.52.010 'designated and established a school bus loading zone in front of Trinity County High School on 299-W, or Main Street, in the town of Weaverville, between the hours of eight a.m. and four p.m. of each school day,' marked by a white-painted curb. Code §10.48.043 separately designates one 15-minute 'loading and unloading space' at the base of the courthouse stairs, 'utilized only by persons loading or unloading materials or equipment, for a time not to exceed fifteen minutes.' Beyond these, loading and unloading on county roads is governed by the California Vehicle Code. CVC §22500 lists where stopping and parking are prohibited and recognizes limited exceptions for buses, schoolbuses and taxicabs to load or unload passengers where authorized by local ordinance. Outside those prohibitions, a driver may stop briefly to load or unload provided the vehicle is not left in front of a driveway, in a crosswalk or intersection, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, or in a posted no-parking area. During snow removal, the Snow Removal Policy prohibits parking in the county road right-of-way regardless.
