Full Breakdown
Midwest City Code Sec. 24-189 through Sec. 24-197 separates curb loading zones into passenger and commercial categories and bars using one for the other's purpose. Passenger zones allow stops of no more than three minutes for loading or unloading riders; commercial zones cap stops at 30 minutes for delivering or picking up merchandise, and vehicles using them must also meet the city's general licensing rules. A business wanting its own special loading zone must apply to the city council and secure a permit plus signage before the city clerk will issue it. No specific fine is set for Sec. 24-196 itself, so the Code's general penalty applies: up to $200 plus costs or 30 days, with each day counted separately.
Violations & Fines
Stopping past the posted time limit, or using a zone for the wrong purpose, is a Code violation; no specific fine is set, so the general penalty applies: up to $200 plus costs or 30 days jail, each day separate.
