Are commercial trucks allowed to park in a residential area?

Question

Are commercial trucks allowed to park in a residential area?

Answer 1

It depends on your local ordinance.

In San Francisco, there's no restriction other than the truck cannot violate existing size limit on certain streets and existing parking zones.

In Anaheim, they do have an ordinance that says commercial trucks and buses are NOT allowed to park overnight on residential streets.

Answer 2

Usually and in most areas even ordnances that restrict commercial vehicles make exclusions for local delivery.  If a trucker lives or is visiting someone it's considered a local delivery.  Every zone is different though.

Answer 3

in some areas you are permitted to park on a residential street or driverway

Answer 4

Good question and in my area they are not allowed but you would need to check with your police department for the correct answer......
