Southampton Village, NY Parking Rules: Loading Zones (2026)

Section 110-31 targets the two busiest commercial streets in the Village. Subsection A prohibits any person, firm or corporation from parking, or causing to be parked, on Main Street or Jobs Lane between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., for loading, unloading or any other purpose, any vehicle, truck or trailer with a load capacity greater than one ton. It also bars letting such a vehicle stand or remain stationary on those streets other than as required by traffic conditions in the normal course of driving through. Subsection B defines Main Street as the portion in the Village from the intersection of Meeting House Lane and Jobs Lane on the south to the intersection of Nugent Street and Hampton Road on the north. The subsection A text carries an amendment note dated 3-9-2006.

Deliveries outside the permitted hours run through a permit. Under subsection C, owners, occupants or tenants of premises on Main Street or Jobs Lane who claim they cannot be served with due diligence, or without undue hardship, before 9:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m. and without parking trucks apply to the Village Clerk on written forms. The Village Board then holds a public hearing within 10 days and grants or refuses the permit. The Board can refuse if access exists so that loading can be done in conformance with the section by due diligence without undue hardship, or if the goods can be carried on foot or by other means from a nearby point where parking is permitted.

Subsection D lets the Mayor or a member of the Board of Trustees issue an emergency permit for a single situation if three conditions are met: the matter cannot be presented at a Board meeting within the limits of the emergency, delivery without parking is impossible without undue hardship after due diligence, and undue hardship will result if delivery is deferred or advanced to a permitted time. Subsection E bars stopping or parking on the roadway side of a vehicle already at the curb, except in compliance with the law or a police officer's directions.

Elsewhere in the Village, § 110-21(F) defines a "loading zones" location: standing or parking is prohibited except for the express purpose of loading or unloading merchandise and goods.
