Legislation Title:  AN ORDINANCE relating to the City’s traffic code; amending, adding and repealing various sections and subsections in Title 11 of the Seattle Municipal Code to conform with changes in state law and to clarify the area where large trucks may park overnight.

· Summary of the Legislation:  Amends the City’s traffic code to conform with changes in the corresponding state traffic statutes made by recent sessions of the Legislature and to clarify the area where large trucks may park overnight.

· Background: (Include brief description of the purpose and context of legislation and include record of previous legislation and funding history, if applicable):  Many provisions of Seattle’s traffic code must be and are identical to provisions of the state traffic statutes.  When the Legislature amends those statutes, our traffic code likewise must be amended to ensure uniformity.  This ordinance changes provisions of our traffic code to conform with changes made to the corresponding state traffic statutes by recent sessions of the Legislature.  Some provisions of our traffic code, however, do not have a corresponding state traffic statute.  This ordinance also clarifies the area where large trucks may park overnight by updating the zoning code category.
