Lake Forest rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Lake Forest, vehicles longer than 22 feet, wider than 90 inches, heavier than 10,000 pounds or with more than two axles, and trailers, may not park on any public street except while actually loading or unloading persons or property.
Lake Forest's oversized vehicle rule keeps vehicles over 22 feet long, 90 inches wide or 10,000 pounds, vehicles with more than two axles, and trailers off public streets, except while actually loading or unloading. A detached trailer can sit on the street for no more than two hours to load or unload, unattended overnight parking of tractor-trailers and similar rigs is banned citywide, and any vehicle must move at least 100 feet within 72 hours. Temporarily blocking a street falls under the encroachment chapter, whose permit applications are due at least two working days ahead.
