Escondido rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Escondido, city code treats trailers, including equipment trailers, as recreational vehicles that may not park on streets except in listed cases, and bans commercial vehicles of 10,000 pounds or more from residential streets unless they are making pickups or deliveries.
In Escondido, recreational vehicles, a category that includes boats and trailers, cannot park on streets or in city lots except in listed cases, such as a total of 48 hours before and after a trip for loading and unloading. Commercial vehicles rated at 10,000 pounds or more are banned from residential streets except while making pickups or deliveries of goods. Encroaching on the public right-of-way requires an encroachment permit, the city traffic engineer can permit backing a vehicle to the curb to load or unload, and loud and excessive noise while loading or unloading a vehicle violates the noise rules.
