Pico Rivera's Chapter 10.40 defines loading zones as curb space reserved for active loading, limits passenger loading zones to three minutes, and caps alley stops at twenty minutes for materials and three minutes for passengers.
Loading and unloading rules sit in Chapter 10.40, Stopping, Standing and Parking. The code defines a loading zone as the space adjacent to a curb reserved for the exclusive use of vehicles actually engaged in loading or unloading materials, so a vehicle may occupy it only while actively loading. Passenger loading zones are more limited: no person may park in one for more than three minutes. In alleys, parking is prohibited except to load materials, capped at twenty minutes, or passengers, capped at three minutes. Where an alley within a dead-end block is dedicated and improved to standard width, the city council may authorize different limits and post them. Curb colors and posted signs mark where loading zones apply.
Occupying a loading zone without actively loading, staying in a passenger loading zone beyond three minutes, or exceeding the twenty-minute materials or three-minute passenger limits in an alley is subject to a parking citation.
