No parking, at any hour, with one narrow exception. Vallejo Municipal Code 8.24.010(T) prohibits stopping, standing or parking a motor truck with a gross vehicle weight of ten thousand pounds or more on any public street or alley “during all hours of the day”. The exemption is specific: a commercial vehicle “actively engaged in the delivery or receipt of appliances, equipment, furniture, household goods, materials, merchandise, passengers or supplies” at, among other places, a residence — and “then only for such period of time that the loading or unloading operation is actually in progress”. Household goods are named outright, so a move is covered. What is not covered is the truck sitting there when nobody is working.
A second, lower threshold in residential districts. Section 8.24.010(Q) applies the same kind of ban in a residence district to any motor truck with a manufacturer’s rated capacity over three-quarters of a ton — a much smaller vehicle than most people picture. It carries a parallel loading exemption.
Almost every street in Vallejo is weight-restricted. Section 8.36.014 bars any vehicle over a maximum gross weight of five tons from “local streets”, and section 8.36.012 defines local streets as every street in the city except Interstate 80, Interstate 780, State Highway 29 and State Highway 37. The exceptions include a permit, a designated truck route, or a “local delivery or pickup”, which section 8.36.024 defines as direct-route ingress and egress “for the purpose of making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares, and merchandise from or to any building or structure located on the restricted street”. A move qualifies, and the code requires the shortest possible route between a truck route or highway and your address.
The truck route list is not published. Section 8.36.040 declares truck routes to be the streets described in “a city council resolution on file at the city clerk’s office”. No street list appears anywhere in the traffic title, so the approach cannot be verified from the code and has to be confirmed with the city.
There is no curb-reservation permit. We checked the traffic title, the Public Works and Special Use permit lists, the Park Vallejo program and the published fee schedule. The only temporary sign authority is the city’s own, under section 8.40.040, for assemblages and similar causes — there is no application, no fee and no process for a resident.
Rules change. We re-check with the city before move day rather than relying on what was true last year.
Permit and access details confirmed against the city's own published guidance. Rules change — we re-check before move day.
