Full Breakdown

010 defines a 'service zone' as 'an area in the roadway set aside for the accommodation of commercial and transient vehicular traffic,' the term Revere uses for what most drivers call a loading zone. 170 sets the operative rule: no vehicle may park in a service zone for longer than fifteen minutes, except while it is actually engaged in loading or unloading, in which case the vehicle may stay up to thirty minutes total. The locations of Revere's designated service zones are listed in Schedule XVI of Title 10, which the chief of police is responsible for marking with official signs under the city's general signing authority.

010(L), which separately bars stopping in a service zone except for loading or unloading passengers or materials, reinforcing that these curb spaces exist for active commercial pickup and drop-off rather than ordinary parking. 010, which lists 'parking within a loading zone' as violation code 04, a Group A infraction carrying a fifteen-dollar fine, the lowest fine tier on the schedule. That flat, low-tier fine applies each time a vehicle overstays the time limit, regardless of how long past the fifteen or thirty minute window it remains.

Violations & Fines

Overstaying Revere's service-zone time limit, fifteen minutes for ordinary parking or thirty minutes while actively loading or unloading, is charged as violation code 04 on the city's Schedule I fine table, a Group A infraction carrying a fifteen-dollar fine under Section 10.99.010. The fine applies per violation and is one of the lowest tiers on the parking penalty schedule.
