Lakewood rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Lakewood, a trailer or semi-trailer, attached to a vehicle or not, may not be parked on any street, alley or public place without a city permit unless it is in the process of being loaded or unloaded.
Lakewood requires a city permit to park a trailer, attached or not, on any street or alley, except while it is being loaded or unloaded; the city issues free temporary permits for RVs, truck campers and trailers, and a resident must request one in advance for an out-of-town vehicle parked in front of their home. No vehicle may stay on a street or alley more than 72 hours, alleys are off-limits for parking outside street-sweeping periods, and the city's parking rules bar commercial vehicles over three tons. Goods and containers may sit on the outer third of a sidewalk for up to an hour during delivery or removal.
