Lehigh County does not regulate this. Allentown defines an “oversized vehicle” as one with a Class 5 license or above, or a gross vehicle weight over 11,000 pounds, and bans parking such vehicles on residential streets (§§615-60, 615-61).
Oversized-vehicle parking is set by municipalities, not the county. Allentown's Chapter 615, Article XIV defines an oversized vehicle as a motor vehicle with a Class 5 license or above, or a gross vehicle weight over 11,000 pounds. Together with buses, tractor trailers and trailers, oversized vehicles may not be parked on residential streets or streets abutting residential zones, in any zoning district except I-2 and I-3 industrial. Allentown's zoning code (§660-90) separately limits parking a Class 5-plus truck or vehicle over 11,000 pounds GVW to no more than two hours daily on residential (N-zone) lots. Confirm the definition and thresholds in your specific city or borough, as they vary across the Lehigh Valley.
Allentown oversized/truck violations: $100 within 10 days, $150 after; immediate tow if the vehicle poses a safety hazard (§615-64).
