Freight, loading and unloading spaces restricted

(a)

Spaces designated "freight zone, freight space only, freight trucks only" shall be restricted to freight trucks and other vehicles properly marked and identified pursuant to subsection (c) of this section and engaged in the loading and unloading of materials, except for cases of emergency.

(b)

No operator shall stop, stand, or park a vehicle for any purpose or length of time other than for the expeditious unloading and delivery or pickup and loading of materials in any place marked as a freight zone. During the hours when the provisions applicable to such zones are in effect, in no case shall the stop for loading and unloading exceed one (1) hour.

(c)

This section is applicable only to commercial vehicles which must be identified by permanent or removable markings on both sides of the exterior of the vehicle, in letters not less than three (3) inches high, of the name of the company operating such vehicle.

(d)

Spaces designated "load and unload, drop-off/pick-up" are restricted to the maximum time indicated on the sign while any vehicle is engaged in loading and unloading. It is unlawful for any operator to permit a vehicle to remain in any space for longer than the designated time. For any continuous parking in the same space, a violation will be deemed to have occurred for each interval of time designated that the vehicle remains in that space and/or if the required payment for use of the zone is not made.
