Phoenix Chapter 24 (Parking and Traffic) regulates commercial and passenger loading zones marked by yellow or white curbs and signage. Only authorized vehicles may use loading zones during posted hours, with strict time limits enforced by Phoenix parking enforcement.
Phoenix City Code Chapter 24 designates commercial loading zones for active loading and unloading of goods by trucks and delivery vehicles. Yellow curbs and posted signs indicate the zone hours and maximum stay, often 30 minutes for commercial use. White curbs allow brief passenger pickup or drop-off. Vehicles must display commercial markings or be actively loading or unloading; idling without active activity is prohibited. Outside posted hours general parking rules apply. Phoenix Street Transportation establishes loading zones based on land-use needs and traffic studies. Businesses can request new loading zones through a permit application reviewed for safety, sight distance, and traffic flow.
Parking in a loading zone without active loading, exceeding the time limit, or using a passenger zone for storage triggers parking citations under Chapter 24. Repeated violations may result in vehicle towing and impound at the owner's expense.
