In Madison, parking excludes brief stops for loading or unloading in a prescribed zone. The code establishes specific loading spaces, such as a 30-minute loading/unloading space on Main Street, and bans stopping in fire connection and emergency lanes.
Sec. 32-129 defines parking to exclude temporary stops while actually engaged in loading or unloading in a prescribed zone. Sec. 32-131 designates specific loading spaces, including a '30 minute loading/unloading parking space' in front of 204 Main Street from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Emergency and fire-connection lanes prohibit any stopping, standing, or parking, though a vehicle may pause briefly to let passengers board or disembark (Sec. 32-184). Heavy delivery vehicles may enter residential zones only while actively loading or unloading for residents (Sec. 32-133).
Restricted-street/loading-zone violations carry the Sec. 32-131 $25 scheduled penalty; blocking a fire or emergency lane carries penalties under Sec. 32-187.
