The City of San Antonio is considering whether to tell semi-truck drivers to “keep on trucking” right off city streets if they want to park overnight.
State law and local ordinances already restrict parking in residential areas. It’s a Class C misdemeanor to park in residential subdivisions between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., and parking the trucks in a home’s front yard or on the curb of a residential property.
John Wood, the board president of the Oakland Heights Owners Association, said there are typically even more. Though parking on the street is legal, Wood said Councilman Manny Pelaez’s office has helped with a workaround by contacting the nearby businesses to help get them to restrict parking along their portion of the street. With their support, Wood said, signs have been installed to prohibit all parking between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., though not everywhere.
The proposal was presented to the Public Safety Committee on Tuesday by San Antonio Police Department Assistant Chief Robert Blanton, who noted that Houston, Dallas, and Fort Worth have more parking restrictions than San Antonio or Austin.
