§ 10.24.120. Loading zone requirements—areas to be marked with yellow paint.

A.

When such areas as the city council may designate as "loading zones" have been appropriately marked with yellow paint placed and maintained upon the entire curb surface along such area, it is unlawful for any person to stop or stand a vehicle except for the purpose of loading or unloading passengers or materials to the establishment for which the area was designated; provided, that the loading or unloading of passengers shall not consume more than three minutes, and that the loading or unloading of materials shall not consume more than twenty minutes, unless permission be obtained from the chief of police authorizing the standing of a vehicle for a longer period while unloading or loading materials; provided, however, that where a proper sign is erected in front of a hotel, the time for loading or unloading passengers and their luggage shall not consume more than twenty minutes.

B.

The loading or unloading of materials shall apply only to commercial deliveries and to the delivery or pickup of express and parcel post packages and United States mail.

C.

The loading or unloading of passengers shall include the loading or unloading of personal baggage.
