Section V-100-11.04 prohibits using a yellow loading zone for any other purpose, and Section V-100-11.05 limits passenger loading zones to passenger loading only. Section V-100-11.06 restricts alley parking to active loading or unloading. Bus zones are governed separately by Section V-100-11.07. Violations are civil penalties enforced through citation.
