Newark rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Newark, a trailer may not be parked on a street unless it is attached to its towing vehicle, except for up to four consecutive hours while making pickups or deliveries to properties within half a mile.
Newark's code bars parking an unhitched trailer on any street, except for up to four consecutive hours for pickups or deliveries within half a mile, and no vehicle may stay on a street more than 72 hours. The city traffic engineer can post zones that ban commercial vehicles of 10,000 pounds or more in residential districts and zones that ban vehicles over 20 feet long. Any obstruction in the public right-of-way needs a city encroachment permit, which the Engineering Division issues and which requires a California-licensed contractor.
