Ridgecrest rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Ridgecrest, a motor vehicle longer than 25 feet may not be parked and left standing on a residential-district street, though it may park there while loading or unloading people or property.
Ridgecrest bars motor vehicles longer than 25 feet, and trucks or trailers wider than 90 inches, from being parked and left on residential-district streets, but allows them while loading or unloading. Vehicles rated over 26,000 pounds are also barred from residential streets, and no vehicle may stay at the same street location for more than ten consecutive days. Placing equipment or vehicles in the street as an encroachment needs a written permit from the city manager or a designee.
