Subd. 1. It is unlawful to park a detached semi-trailer upon any street, city-owned parking lot or other public property, except such as are specifically designated by the Council by resolution and sign-posted.
Subd. 2. It is unlawful to park a semi-trailer, truck-tractor, or a combination thereof, within an area zoned as a residential district, except for the purpose of loading or unloading the same, and then only during such time as is reasonably necessary for the activity.
Subd. 3. It is unlawful to park a commercial vehicle of more than 12,000-pounds' gross vehicle weight upon any street in the business district except streets as specifically designated by the Council by resolution and sign-posted, but parking of the vehicle for a period of not more than 30 minutes shall be permitted in the space for the purpose of necessary access to abutting property while actively loading or unloading when the access cannot reasonably be secured from an alley or from an adjacent street where truck parking is not so restricted.
Subd. 4.

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.
Subd. 5. Parking of commercial vehicles is permitted in duly designated and sign-posted loading zones, and in alleys, for a period of up to 30 minutes; provided that, the 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.
