Loading zones

Loading zone sign

Loading zones are clearly signed areas set aside for short-term use by certain vehicles when loading or unloading goods in the course of business or when dropping off or picking up passengers. Extended parking while loading zones are in operation is not permitted.

Loading zones are available for vehicles that are principally designed and constructed for carrying goods. The majority of 4WD vehicles, hatchbacks and other coupé and sports type vehicles are not principally designed and constructed for carrying goods and are therefore not permitted to use loading zones.
