Full Breakdown
The city traffic safety coordinator, with city council approval, designates curb loading zones and posts signs stating the applicable hours. In a marked passenger loading zone, vehicles may stop only to expeditiously load or unload passengers, for up to three minutes. In a marked freight loading zone, vehicles may stop only for the expeditious unloading, delivery, pickup or loading of materials, and the stop cannot exceed 30 minutes. Stopping longer, or for any other purpose, is prohibited while the zone's posted hours are in effect; the rules only apply where signage is actually posted.
Violations & Fines
Stopping, standing or parking beyond the posted time limit, or for any purpose other than loading or unloading, is a citable misdemeanor enforced by Mission police under Chapter 110.
