In Port St. Lucie, freight curb loading zones may be used only for expeditious loading and unloading of materials, and no such stop may exceed 30 minutes. Passenger curb loading zones are limited to five minutes. Zoning also requires off-street loading for larger developments.
Port St. Lucie's Section 72.09 governs curb loading zones. In a freight curb loading zone, no vehicle may stop, stand, or park except for the expeditious unloading, delivery, pickup, or loading of materials, and in no case may that stop exceed 30 minutes. Passenger curb loading zones are limited to the loading and unloading of passengers, not to exceed five minutes. Under Section 72.03, delivery and service vehicles get a limited residential exception while actively making deliveries. Off-street loading facilities for commercial and larger developments are addressed in the city's zoning code, Chapter 158. Marked loading zones are reserved for active loading, not general parking.
A private vehicle parked in a marked loading zone, or a freight vehicle exceeding 30 minutes, may be ticketed under the $25 general parking fine and towed at the owner's expense.
