No more street parking :-(
Austin Parking Rules:

It shall be unlawful for any person to park or permit or cause to be placed, stored or parked any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight in excess of 9,000 pounds on any public street which has a speed limit of 30 miles per hour or less; provided, however, that all public streets in the Central Business District as defined in § 16-2-16(A) shall be exempt from this requirement; provided, further, that all such vehicles actively engaged in service or delivery functions shall be exempt from this requirement for the
period of time actually engaged in such service or delivery activity; provided, further, that all publicly owned or franchised emergency vehicles required by the various municipal, state or publicly franchised utility departments to be taken home by its on-call employees charged with making emergency utility service repairs shall be exempt from this requirement.

('81 Code, § 11-2-170) (Ord. 820826-C; Am. Ord. 920820-H) Penalty, see §
