Residents' complaints about illegal big rig parking are on the rise, but truckers say the decades-old regulations are unfair
Los Angeles,CAL,USA -The Los Angeles Times, by Ann M.

But a recent surge in complaints over illegal truck parking in the southeast Antelope Valley communities of Littlerock and Sun Village has led to increased enforcement of decades-old parking regulations... Many local truckers argue that the regulations are overly restrictive, and they feel they are being unfairly targeted for citations...

State officials have not made a list of the number of spaces that will be lost. The savings will be used to shore up shrinking state revenues...
