longer than five minutes to pick up or drop off food orders to customers.
Restaurants and other retail food establishments that utilize their
own dedicated delivery vehicles may not use a Main Street loading

a.m. and 11:59 p.m. on any day of the week, unless special permission
is granted in advance by the City Manager (or designee) to do so.
(5)
If the driver or operator of a vehicle utilizing a Main Street loading zone fails to immediately abide by the directions of a Hackensack Police Officer or other lawful authority to vacate said loading zone upon the expiration of the time limits set forth in Subsection A(1) through (3), above, it shall be deemed a separate and independent violation of this section.
