Huntington Park, CA Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

Article 15 of Chapter 7 of the Huntington Park Municipal Code governs stopping for loading or unloading only. Under § 4-7.1501, the Traffic Authority marks loading zones and passenger loading zones at any place in the business district and, elsewhere, in front of the entrance to a place of business or a hall or place of public assembly. In no event can more than one-half of the total curb length in any block be reserved for loading zones, exclusive of passenger loading zones at public theaters and next to school sites.

Section 4-7.1502(a) applies when signs or markings give notice: in a yellow loading zone, or within fifty (50′) feet of any entrance to a school or a building used for governmental business, no one can stop, stand, or park for any purpose other than loading or unloading passengers or materials. Section 4-7.1502(b) extends the same loading-only rule, where the Traffic Authority has limited parking, to roadways not more than twenty-five feet wide, the front of public assembly halls and business entrances, and other places where parking would cause congestion or particular hazard.

The time limits are in § 4-7.1507. Materials loading applies only to commercial vehicles and to commercial deliveries and the delivery or pickup of express, parcel post packages, and United States mail. Passenger loading includes personal baggage and cannot exceed three minutes. Under § 4-7.1507(c), enforcement accommodates necessary and reasonable loading without permitting abuse. The yellow curb hours come from § 4-7.1404(b): 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. any day except Sundays and holidays. In alleys, § 4-7.1505 allows three minutes for passengers and 20 minutes for materials, and the Huntington Park Police Department removes vehicles blocking alley access at the owner's cost. Section 4-7.901(b) bars freight vehicles from the business district between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., and the Police Chief can issue a written permit for emergency deliveries.
