No person 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 truck loading zone during hours when the provisions applicable to such zones are in effect. In no case shall the stop for loading and unloading of materials exceed 30 minutes.
(a) No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle other than a bus in a bus stop, or other than a taxicab in a taxicab stand, when any such stop or stand has been officially designated and appropriately posted, except that the driver of a passenger vehicle may temporarily stop therein for the purpose of, and while actually engaged in, loading or unloading passengers when such stopping does not interfere with any bus or taxicab waiting to enter or about to enter such zone, and then only for a period not to exceed three minutes, if such stopping is not prohibited therein by posted signs.
(b) No operator of a bus shall stop, stand or park such vehicle upon any street or other public way at any place for the purpose of loading or unloading passengers or their baggage other than at a bus stop so designated and posted as such, except in case of an emergency.
(c) No operator of a bus shall fail to enter a bus stop on a street or other public way in such a manner that the bus when stopped to load or unload passengers or baggage is in a position with the right front wheel of such vehicle not further than 18 inches from the curb and the bus approximately parallel to the curb so as not to unduly impede the movement of other vehicular traffic.
(d) No operator of a taxicab shall stand or park such vehicle upon any street or other public way at any place other than in a taxicab stand so designated and posted as such. This provision shall not prevent the operator of a taxicab from temporarily stopping in accordance with other stopping or parking provisions at any place for the purpose of, and while actually engaged in, the expeditious loading or unloading of passengers.
(a) No person shall stop, stand or park any vehicle upon a street, other than an alley, in such a manner or under such conditions as to leave available less than ten feet of the width of the roadway for free movement of vehicular traffic, except that a driver may stop temporarily during the actual loading or unloading of passengers or when directed to by a police officer or traffic control signal.
(b) Except as otherwise provided by law, no person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle within an alley except while actually loading and unloading, and then only for a period not to exceed 30 minutes.
(a) The parking of tractor trailers is prohibited within the Municipal limits, except when used in the normal course of business, for example the off-loading of a tractor trailer not to exceed a period of seven days, the transportation and hauling of goods from place to place which is the normal intended use of tractor trailers, or a business involved in the sale and purchase of tractor trailers. No person shall park or leave standing for more than two hours any commercial vehicle, semi-tractor, semitrailer on any street or highway in a Residential District of the Municipality, except for loading or unloading. Commercial vehicle shall be defined as any vehicle over 11,000 pounds gross vehicle weight or any vehicle with a height over eight feet. This section shall not apply to any vehicle owned or operated by officers, agents or employees of the Municipality, including fire trucks, maintenance vehicles and emergency vehicles, while on official business or when and where authorized by executive order of the Manager.
(b) It is hereby prohibited and deemed a violation of this section for a tractor trailer to be used as a substitute for a storage building, a place of business, a housing unit, a structure which is being used to primarily post or contain a sign, or in any other way for which the tractor trailer was not designed or for which it is being used as an apparent subterfuge to avoid the licensing or regulation of the end use of the tractor trailer. An example is using a tractor trailer as a storage structure (not its designed purpose) which prevents proper regulation of the storage structure by avoiding the building permit process of the Municipality.
(c) All tractor trailers shall be required to comply with all Municipal, State and Federal laws and shall not be used to store any hazardous materials which may be detrimental to the welfare of the citizens of the Municipality. Tractor trailers shall not be used as any type of building for human use, for the storage of goods or for a structure being used to primarily post or contain a sign.
(d) An exception to this section is a tractor trailer that has been converted for use as a construction office at a site that has a valid building permit. However, even in this case the tractor trailer is not allowed to adversely affect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the Municipality.
(e) A tractor trailer as defined in this section shall constitute either the tractor or trailer if connected or the tractor or trailer if separated. The prohibition contained in this section apply with equal force to the tractor or trailer.
(f) No person shall park any trailer detached from a motor vehicle on any street in the Municipality. An attached trailer for the purpose of loading and unloading may be parked for a period not to exceed 4 hours in a 24-hour period. Overnight parking is prohibited.
(g) Whoever violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree and shall be subject to the penalty provided in Section 408.01.
(Ord. 1-92. Passed 1-14-92; Ord. 23-03. Passed 6-6-03; Ord. 16-09. Passed 6-9-09; Ord. 18-10. Passed 9-28-10; Ord. 20-11. Passed 10-25-11.)
In any hearing on a charge of illegally parking a motor vehicle, testimony that a vehicle bearing a certain license plate was found unlawfully parked as prohibited by the provisions of this Traffic Code, and further testimony that the record of the Ohio Registrar of Motor Vehicles shows that the license plate was issued to the defendant, shall be prima facie evidence that the vehicle which was unlawfully parked, was so parked by the defendant. A certified registration copy, showing such fact, from the Registrar shall be proof of such ownership.
