Full Breakdown
Penn Hills' Traffic Code (Chapter 464) designates specific curb spaces as loading zones through official signage. Once posted, § 464.03(b) limits use of a loading zone to the time actually needed for a vehicle to receive or discharge passengers, or to load and unload freight and merchandise -- parking or standing beyond that window violates the ordinance even during the posted hours. Municipal police enforce the rule by tagging vehicles under §§ 464.07-464.08, and general Chapter 464 penalties (§ 464.99) apply if no more specific fine is set.
Violations & Fines
Standing or parking beyond the loading window violates § 464.03(b); general Chapter 464 violations are fined up to $15 under § 464.99(a), with officers tagging vehicles to document dwell time.
