Section 10.12.070 supplies the conduct rules. No commercial vehicle remains in a loading zone in excess of thirty minutes, and a vehicle using a loading zone permit is limited to fifteen minutes. During use the vehicle displays a loading/unloading or pick up/delivery placard or permit, as required by the New Brunswick Parking Authority, on the dashboard or driver's sun visor facing outward, and its warning lights are flashing at all times. No vehicle stays in a special use loading zone longer than ten minutes.

Enforcement runs through towing and permit revocation. A vehicle illegally parked in a loading zone for more than one hour can be towed at the owner's expense, and a permit holder with four or more tickets under the section within one calendar year is subject to revocation by the traffic commission.
