How long can I park in a loading zone before getting a violation?

In the City of Los Angeles, parking in a loading zone is subject to strict regulations to ensure efficient loading and unloading operations. As stated by the Municipal Code 80.73(d), vehicles can only remain in a loading zone for the time reasonably necessary to load or unload passengers or deliveries. Generally, the maximum allowable time for parking in a loading zone is 30 minutes. After exceeding this time limit, vehicles are subject to receiving a parking violation. It is important to adhere to these rules to avoid fines and ensure a smooth flow of traffic. However, it is always recommended to check signage in specific areas for any variations or updated regulations on loading zone parking restrictions.
