Full Breakdown
The Director of Public Works designates passenger and freight curb-loading zones citywide and posts signs stating the applicable hours. In a marked loading zone, vehicles may stop only for expeditious loading or unloading of materials by a commercial delivery vehicle: no other stopping, standing, or parking is allowed. Passenger curb-loading zones are stricter still: a vehicle may stand only to load or unload passengers, and only for up to three minutes, during the posted hours.
Violations & Fines
Stopping, standing, or parking in a marked loading zone for any purpose other than expeditious loading/unloading, or exceeding the 3-minute limit in a passenger curb-loading zone, is a parking violation citable under Chapter 22.
