§ 17-85. Manner of parking to load, unload.

When being loaded or unloaded, trucks and drays may be backed up to the curb, but shall be so placed as to cause the least practicable interference with traffic on the streets. Horses or mules attached to vehicles backed up to the curb when loading and unloading shall be turned at right angles to the vehicle to which attached in the direction in which the traffic on that side of the street is moving. Every truck or dray shall be promptly loaded and unloaded and shall not be permitted to stand or remain stationed at any place on the street in the city, except while being loaded or unloaded, unless the same shall be parked in the manner required for other vehicles.
