Commercial vehicles, defined by a gross vehicle weight over 8,000 pounds used for profit, may not park on residential-zone streets for more than four hours except to load or unload, unoccupied recreational vehicles are limited to 72 hours on streets, and violating the Normal Hill Residential Parking Program carries a $50 payment.
