Trucks on Residential Streets
Trucks are permitted to
travel on the City’s streets unless otherwise prohibited.
Truck prohibitions on local, residential streets are considered
when trucks bypass available arterial street routes and adversely
impact residential street public safety. The
Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) is authorized
to post signs prohibiting trucks weighing three or more tons.
Some trucks must use local streets, and are exempted.

businesses

Trucks exceeding 22 feet in length are
not allowed to park in residential areas. They are also prohibited
from parking for more than three hours in all other areas of
the City. Exceptions to these two regulations apply for trucks
when they are performing a service at the location or are actively
loading or unloading. More information
on truck restriction signs in residential areas can be obtained
by contacting the appropriate LADOT District
Office. Please contact the Police Department for enforcement
of posted truck restrictions. The appropriate Parking
Enforcement Office should be contacted for trucks parked
in residential areas.
