hours indicated on such sign; provided, however, that stops may be made for the
expeditious loading or unloading of freight and passengers in official loading and
unloading zones; and provided, further, that buses may stop for the expeditious loading
and unloading of passengers in official bus stops. In no case shall the stop for the loading•

passengers exceed [three minutes] the time as established by the pertinent zones.
Provided, however, that when requested for noncommercial or non business purposes
