Full Breakdown

Property owners may apply to the council to establish a loading zone abutting their premises, billed for the cost of signage and curb painting. During posted loading zone hours, § 32-44(b) allows stopping, standing or parking only to receive or discharge passengers or freight, and only for as long as necessary for that purpose. Section 32-44(c) sets a hard five-minute cap for any vehicle other than a truck occupying the zone during those hours, giving trucks more flexibility for actual loading operations.

Violations & Fines

Occupying a loading zone outside its permitted use, or exceeding the five-minute non-truck limit during posted hours, is a citable violation of § 32-44.
