Commercial Parking Zones

A commercially marked vehicle includes:

  • A vehicle with a "T" license plate. The plate is issued by the State of Oregon; and/or
  • 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).

Example of Commercial Parking Sign 30 Min Max

As the sign below indicates, a commercial vehicle is permitted to park in a commercial parking zone for 30 minutes. Commercial vehicles exceeding the 30 minute limit may be issued a citation. Additional citations may 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.
