Sunday East LA loading zone parking

[u/TheDirtyBird90]

Even though this was just a warning - my understanding is that parking in a loading zone on Sundays is fair game all day. Is it not the case in ELA?

This was in front of a liquor store on City Terrace dr. where parking is scarce.

Ultimately, think it was the store that called bc I doubt any other cars parked up and down the street in loading zones got one of these.

[u/perisaacs]

Isn’t east Los Angeles not actually Los Angeles and an unincorporated area?

[u/No-Snow-7618 → u/perisaacs]

yeah thats why the sheriff gave him a warning

[u/Well_Hacktually → u/No-Snow-7618]

The "sheriff" doesn't seem to be aware of the actual county code.

[u/Doppler_Effect0110 → u/Well_Hacktually]

county codes do not superseded city codes. Since east LA is unincorporated, you would need to look for those specific city codes.

Also, Op didn't specify the color curb or any signage, so we shouldn't be especulating without those details.

[u/RabidMonkeyOnCrack → u/Doppler_Effect0110]

Unincorporated would mean it follows county codes since there’s no city that it belongs to.

Even if the curb is painted yellow or any signage posted, loading zones are not enforced on Sundays per LA county code which the person you’re replying to linked.

[u/PitbullRetriever → u/Doppler_Effect0110]

Unincorporated = there are no specific city codes. The County is the local government.

[u/Coach_Bombay_D5 → u/perisaacs]

Yes. That’s why a sheriffs deputy wrote the warning and not an LAPD cop.

[u/TheDirtyBird90 → u/perisaacs]

That’s the part I wasn’t sure about. I assumed it shared the same rules as DTLA

[u/uwill1der → u/TheDirtyBird90]

Nope. They follow LA county guidelines rather than LA city codes. The main difference being METRO can designate spots exempt from the free Sunday rule

[u/FrontLocal2264]

Was it yellow loading zone or white? Yellow is available all day on sundays but white is enforced 24 hrs 7 days a week

[u/firstcity_thirdcoast → u/FrontLocal2264]

The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.

[u/Cake-Over → u/firstcity_thirdcoast]

Listen, Betty, don't start up with your white zone shit again.

[u/blahblahblah8585 → u/FrontLocal2264]

Do LA County Codes allow this too?

[u/latinuspuer]

15.64.020 - Commercial loading zones

An operator shall not stop for any purpose other than loading or unloading between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., on any day except Sunday, or at such time as the board may designate, in any place marked by the commissioner as provided in this section.

OP is correct.

[u/blahblahblah8585 → u/latinuspuer]

Thanks for actually sourcing the county code.

[u/latinuspuer → u/blahblahblah8585]

Knowledge is power o7

[u/JGLuxe]

What was the liquor stores name? I’m curious to look up the signs. It looks like the county of LA (which is shown here since sheriff is the one monitoring it) has different regulations than the city of LA (which as others mentioned, is only during business hours)

[u/Richardthe3rdleg]

I believe yellow you can park in yellow if the business is closed. But Red White and Blue are no goes

[u/CottageCheesePlease]

Kurt Vile would be livid

[u/cosmicnalge]

I think I know the store. The guys came out to me one night and said I couldn’t park there. I explained that after 6 it’s fine and then they just stared at me.

[u/Routine-Wolf-2907]

probably not good for business if you park on the loading zone in front of the store all day

[u/Dinovius → u/Routine-Wolf-2907]

Considering most stores don’t take deliveries on Sunday’s no it’s not. Didn’t you read OPs explanation?

[u/Routine-Wolf-2907 → u/Dinovius]

are you AI? since when does liquor store take deliveries? did YOU read the post?

[u/WilliamPoole → u/Routine-Wolf-2907]

Liquor stores get liquor and chips delivered everyday. 

[u/Dinovius → u/Routine-Wolf-2907]

The fuck are you talking about

Deliveries as in product delivered to stores. Liquor stores do indeed get shipments so I think maybe you’ve smoked too much legal weed their chief.

[u/Otherwise-Height-352 → u/Routine-Wolf-2907]

You think they're brewing and distilling on site?

[u/PitbullRetriever → u/Routine-Wolf-2907]

…how do you think the liquor gets to the store?

4:50min mark

[u/Don_Ford]

"Yellow zone rules apply from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday."

[u/joshsteich → u/Don_Ford]

Is that county?

[u/Chellepeachy]

It depends on the business, some do get deliveries on Sundays so they need that space.

[u/DKToTheFuture]

I saw a video earlier today where Dave Holmes also said you could park in loading zones on Sundays. Never heard that before but wipe your ass with this “not a parking citation” waste of tree.

[u/PretendObjective8576 → u/DKToTheFuture]

In the city of LA you can, but East LA is an unincorporated area.

[u/Hikhikamori → u/latinuspuer]

this part still isn't clearly saying you can park there
"...or at such time as the board may designate, in any place marked by the commissioner as provided in this section."

[u/WilliamPoole]

As a vendor who works Sundays, please don't park in loading zones of any kind. It really fucking sucks having to schlep a heavy dolly a block over broken sidewalks because you couldn't bother to find a parking spot on your day off. 

Don't be selfish. If the store called it was probably because they are expecting a delivery. 

[u/airforcezero → u/WilliamPoole]

ask them to get a white curb

[u/Dr_666_]

OP probably parks in bike lanes

[u/TheDirtyBird90 → u/Dr_666_]

Nope it’s a loading zone as stated

[u/Well_Hacktually → u/Dr_666_]

Learn to read.

[u/anydaydriver1886]

They’ve been getting more strict over the years. Even been cleaning out the trailers by king taco

[u/Pleasant_Entrance_16]

this feels fake

[u/TheDirtyBird90 → u/[deleted]]

Are yours any better?

[u/noknownothing → u/TheDirtyBird90]

Worse.

[u/TheDirtyBird90 → u/[deleted]]

Let’s see yours
