Loading zones are set and enforced by municipalities, not Berks County. In the City of Reading, parking in a marked loading or pickup zone is prohibited and carries a $35 fine under Code § 576-411.
Designated loading and passenger-pickup zones are established by each Pennsylvania municipality; the county does not create or enforce them. In the City of Reading, Code § 576-411 prohibits parking, stopping, standing or drifting in a marked loading or timed zone, enforced by the Reading Parking Authority. Statewide, 75 Pa.C.S. § 3353 also restricts stopping and standing except for actual loading/unloading in certain locations. Township and borough loading-zone rules and hours vary, so check the posted signs and your local ordinance.
In Reading, parking in a loading/pickup zone under § 576-411 is a $35 initial citation, rising to $52.50 and $70 if unpaid.
