Summary
Little Rock prohibits trucks, buses, tractors, trailers, and semitrailers rated over one ton from parking on public residential streets overnight unless actively performing a direct public service, under Sec. 32-377 of the city code.
No person, firm or corporation shall park a truck, tractor, bus, trailer or semitrailer with a manufacturer's-rated capacity in excess of one (1) ton or greater on any public residential street except when such vehicle is actually engaged in the process of providing a direct public service. No person, firm or corporation shall use any public street for the purpose of repairing any such truck, tractor, bus, trailer or semitrailer or the chassis thereof except when such repairs are necessitated by an emergency.

Full Breakdown
Under Sec. 32-377, any truck, tractor, bus, trailer, or semitrailer rated at more than one ton may not park on a public residential street in Little Rock, day or night, except while actively delivering a direct public service; repairs on public streets are barred except in an emergency. Ordinary passenger vehicles face no blanket overnight ban, but Sec. 32-372 and Sec. 32-373 let the city post 'No Parking' or hour-restricted signs block by block, and those postings control regardless of the general rule. Violations run through the same city parking-ticket process as other unmetered overtime parking.
Violations & Fines
Parking a truck, bus, tractor, or trailer over one ton on a residential street outside its service run draws the same unmetered overtime-parking fine: $30 within 30 days, $45 after 30 days or conviction.
