Full Notification

Effective immediately, the parking lot behind the Stripes convenience store, located at South Crockett Avenue and Highway 277 South, has been posted as a “No Overnight Parking” area for commercial semi-trucks. This decision comes after numerous complaints from nearby residents regarding loud engine noise caused by semi-trucks parking in the lot during nighttime hours.
 
At the request of the property owner, signs have been installed, and law enforcement has been asked to help ensure compliance.  The Sonora Police Department will work over the next two weeks to educate and inform truck drivers about this change.
 
This action aligns with the City of Sonora's ordinance regulating semi-truck parking within city limits. Parking for commercial semi-trucks in prohibited areas is not allowed under city regulations.
 
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
