Prince George's County restricts heavy commercial trucks (over 10,000 pounds) from parking on County streets overnight under Section 26-123, and bars parking such trucks within 75 feet of a residential property line near commercial or industrial businesses under Section 26-127.04(e).
Prince George's County Code Subtitle 26 targets oversized and heavy vehicles in residential areas. Section 26-101 defines a heavy commercial truck as one with a gross weight over 10,000 pounds. Section 26-123 prohibits parking heavy commercial trucks, commercial buses, and trailers on County streets between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. outside municipal limits, with escalating fines of $500 to $1,000. Section 26-127.04(e) adds that where a commercial or industrial business sits across from or adjacent to a residential home or development, no heavy commercial truck may park less than 75 feet (25 yards) from the closest residential property line. Maryland Transportation Code 21-1010 further bars commercial vehicles from residential zones. Municipalities may set additional size or weight limits.
Overnight heavy-truck parking (Section 26-123) draws fines of $500 to $1,000 and impoundment. Parking within 75 feet of a residential property line near commercial/industrial sites violates Section 26-127.04(e).
