Moorpark Municipal Code Art. IV Weight Limits

Whenever this code designates and describes any street, or portion thereof, as a street the use of which is permitted by any vehicle exceeding a maximum gross weight limit of three tons, the city engineer is authorized to designate such street or portion thereof by appropriate signs as truck traffic routes for the movement of vehicles exceeding a maximum gross weight limit of three tons.

(Ord. 20 § 1, 1984)

A. When any such traffic routes are established and designated by appropriate signs, no person shall drive or park any vehicle exceeding a maximum gross weight limit of three tons on any street or portion thereof, except those streets so designated as truck traffic routes; provided, however, the provisions of this article shall not prohibit the uses set forth in Sections 35703 and 35704 of Article 4 of Chapter 5 of Division 15 of the Vehicle Code of the state.

B. The provisions of this article shall not apply to passenger buses under the jurisdiction of the Public Utilities Commission of the state.

(Ord. 20 § 1, 1984)

It is unlawful to park any commercial vehicle, having a specific manufacturer's gross weight rating of 10,000 pounds or more, on any street in a residential zone, when the parking is not connected with deliveries to an adjoining property or in connection with work being performed at the adjoining property. For the purposes of this section, "commercial vehicle" means any vehicle identified with Commercial Vehicle Registration Act (CVRA) weight decal used or maintained for the transportation of persons for hire, compensation or profit, or any vehicle designed, used or maintained primarily for the transportation of property for hire, compensation or profit. A van pool vehicle maintained and used primarily for the nonprofit and work-related transportation of adults for the purposes of ride sharing is not a commercial vehicle.
