Public-street loading zones in Milwaukee County are designated and enforced by each city or village under Wisconsin law, not the county. Milwaukee County controls loading and standing only on county park drives and county-owned facility grounds.
Curbside loading zones, commercial-vehicle standing areas and time-limited pickup zones on public streets are created by the individual municipalities under the local-authority power in Wis. Stat. 349.13, and enforced through each city's traffic code (Chapter 101 in the City of Milwaukee). Milwaukee County's direct authority over loading and standing applies to roads and lots inside county parks and on county-owned campus grounds, including the county institution grounds addressed in the county traffic and parking regulations (Chapter 70). Delivery and service vehicles in county parks must use designated areas and observe posted restrictions and park hours.
Standing in a municipal loading zone beyond posted terms is ticketed by the city or village under its traffic code. On county park roads and county-owned grounds, loading-zone and standing violations may be ticketed or towed under county regulations.
