Chatham County has no separate designated-loading-zone ordinance, but Sec. 12-302 lets commercial and oversized vehicles otherwise banned from residential streets stop while being expeditiously loaded or unloaded, or while performing utility, construction or public right-of-way work.
The county sets no standalone loading-zone code, but its residential-street parking rule (Sec. 12-302) builds in a loading exception: commercial vehicles may park on a residential street while being expeditiously loaded or unloaded, or while their equipment performs the special operation for which it was designed, including utility, public-utility, construction, removal or repair work on facilities or public streets and rights-of-way. This lets delivery and work trucks stop temporarily without violating the oversized-vehicle ban. Designated on-street loading zones in commercial districts are established by the City of Savannah and other municipalities, not the county traffic code. Curb signage and time limits are set locally.
A commercial vehicle parked beyond active loading/unloading loses the exception and is subject to the Sec. 12-701 parking fine of $5.00 to $100.00.
