Commercial Parking
Commercial and Contractor Parking Zones
Eugene provides special parking areas for commercial loading and unloading spaces. The area, designated by a sign, is for commercial vehicle use only.The commercial vehicle must meet the following criteria:
- A vehicle with a "T" license plate. The plate is issued by the State of Oregon.
- A vehicle bearing the name of a business displayed on at least the driver's side of the vehicle. This information may be either imprinted on the vehicle or on a commercially made sign (measuring no less than 12 inches in height and 12 inches in width).
Time Limits
As the sign indicates, a commercial vehicle is permitted to park in a commercial parking zone for 30 minutes. Commercial vehicles exceeding the 30 minute limit will be issued a citation for overtime parking. Additional citations will be issued for each successive 30-minute period the vehicle is over parked. Vehicles parked in these areas without proper identification will receive a citation. Non-commercial vehicles may be parked in commercial zones only if the sign designates a time limit for such (see picture). Non-commercial vehicles exceeding the 10-minute limit will be cited for overtime violation.
The City of Eugene implements these regulations in order to provide adequate parking space for commercial use so street traffic flow is not obstructed. For further information, call 541-682-5729.
