- 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).

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.
