§ 72.06 TRUCK PARKING RESTRICTED.
   (A)   It is unlawful to park a detached semi-trailer upon any street, city-owned parking lot or other public property, except those as are specifically designated by the Council by resolution and signposted.
   (B)   It is unlawful to park a truck (other than a truck of 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight or less), truck-trailer, tractor-trailer or truck-tractor within an area zoned as a residential district, except for the purpose of loading or unloading the same, and then only during the time as is reasonably necessary for that activity.
   (C)   It is unlawful to park a commercial vehicle of more than 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight upon any street in the business district, except streets as specifically designated by the Council by resolution and signposted, but parking of this type of vehicle for a period of not more than 20 minutes shall be permitted in that space for the purpose of necessary access to abutting property while actively loading or unloading when access cannot reasonably be secured from an alley or from an adjacent street where truck parking is not so restricted.
   (D)   It is unlawful to park a truck or other vehicle using or equipped with a trailer, or extended body or other extension or projection beyond the original length of the vehicle, or any passenger bus, diagonally along any street, except for a time sufficient to load or unload and, in that case, only parallel parking shall be permitted; provided, however, that, a truck may stand backed up to the curb if the weight or bulk of the load makes parallel parking impracticable, but then only for a period of time sufficient to load or unload.
   (E)   Parking of commercial vehicles is permitted in duly designated and signposted loading zones, and in alleys, for the purpose of loading or unloading the same and then only for a period of time as is reasonably necessary for that activity; provided that, this alley parking does not prevent the flow of traffic therein, all of which shall be for the purpose of access to abutting or adjacent property while actively loading or unloading.
