Trucks are permitted to travel on all city streets unless otherwise prohibited.
Local or residential street prohibitions
If you believe that there is a safety or traffic congestion issue caused by trucks using local streets in your neighborhood to bypass arterial streets, you can request an investigation through our district offices.
If warranted, LADOT will post signs prohibiting trucks weighing three or more tons. Even if signs are posted, certain oversized vehicles will be exempt:
• Emergency vehicles
• Transit or shuttle buses
• Trucks involved in construction on the street
• Trucks making deliveries on the street
• Vehicles needing to enter and exit nearby businesses
Oversized vehicle parking prohibitions:
Please contact the Los Angeles Police Department for enforcement of posted truck restrictions.
Please contact our parking enforcement office if trucks are violating state or municipal parking laws on your residential street.
Exceptions to regulations may apply for trucks when they are performing a service at the location or are actively loading or unloading.
