Commercial loading or yellow zones provide curb space for commercial vehicles to load and unload goods and are typically used for businesses, institutions, or properties that receive or deliver a lot of goods in vehicles with commercial license plates. Commercial loading zones are marked with yellow paint on the curb and the effective times of yellow zones vary and are indicated by signs and/or are painted on the curb. Six-wheel truck loading zones are yellow zones specifically for six-wheeled trucks only. They are marked with yellow paint, signs, and red-capped meters in metered areas.
Commercial loading zones are meant to be shared by nearby businesses or institutions and will be sited by the Curb Access team for maximum utility and visibility. In some cases, commercial loading zones may not be located right at the applicant's front door.
Vehicles without a commercial license plate may use yellow zones for up to three minutes for active loading only, and the driver must stay with the vehicle. Vehicles parked in a yellow zone but not loading, or in excess of the time limit for the vehicle type, may be cited and towed.
