No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle for any purpose
or period of time other than for the expeditious loading or unloading
of passengers in any place marked as a passenger curb loading zone
during hours when the regulations applicable to such curb loading
zone are effective, and then only for a period not to exceed three
(3) minutes, except when such spaces are adjacent to and serving a

(1990 Code, sec. 10.1501)
(a)
No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle for any length of time
in any place marked as a freight curb loading zone during the hours
so set aside except that commercial vehicles may so stop, stand or
park for the expeditious unloading and delivery or pickup and loading
of material. In no case shall the stop for unloading and loading of
material exceed one (1) hour.
(b)
The driver of a passenger vehicle may stop temporarily at a place
marked as a freight curb loading zone for the purpose of and while
actually engaged in loading or unloading passengers when such stopping
does not interfere with any motor vehicle used for the transportation
of materials which is waiting to enter or about to enter such zone.
(1990 Code, sec. 10.1502)
(a)
The chief of police is authorized to issue special permits for the
backing of vehicles to the curb for the purpose of loading or unloading
merchandise or materials subject to the terms and conditions of such
permit. Such permits may be issued either to the owner or driver of
the vehicle and shall grant to such person the privilege as therein
stated and authorized herein, and it shall be unlawful for any permittee
or other person to violate any of the special terms or conditions
of any such permit. No such permit may be issued on any other than
a temporary basis for each instance of angle loading by the vehicle.
Subsequent angle loading by the vehicle to or for which a permit for
angle loading has been issued shall be done only upon reissuance of
such permit for each individual loading. Such permits are not required
where angle loading is permitted by other parts of this chapter.
(b)
The director of public works is authorized to designate curbs or
areas where angle loading shall be permitted, but such loading shall
not be permitted at any curb or in any area, except as otherwise provided
in this section, at an angle such that more than one-third (1/3) of
the width of the street is occupied by the vehicle so parked. Wherever
necessary for the safe and expeditious movement of traffic, the director
of public works may designate certain hours of the day and/or days
of the week when no angle loading shall be permitted in such areas
at such curbs.
