Full Breakdown
Under Section 7-26, the City has marked a defined list of street segments as loading zones, and the ordinance states the rule city-wide: no person may park a vehicle in a designated loading zone during the posted times except to load or unload goods and materials. The posted windows vary by block. m. Several zones added since 2019, including Charles Street and East Baltimore Avenue, apply at all times rather than on a business-hours schedule. 1, sets aside additional curb space near schools as pickup and drop-off zones limited to children's school pickup and drop-off rather than commercial loading, so a driver stopping at a school zone to unload freight is not covered by the loading-zone exception.
1 applies, a minimum $100 fine that can reach $2,000, plus up to ninety days of imprisonment or community service, imposed by the Municipal Court.
Violations & Fines
Section 7-26 carries no zone-specific fine of its own, so a violation is punished under the citywide general penalty in Section 1-5.1: a fine of not less than $100 and not more than $2,000, up to ninety days' imprisonment, or up to ninety days of community service, at the Municipal Court's discretion.
