San Pablo rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In San Pablo, a trailer may only be parked on a street or alley while it is attached to a vehicle that can move it.
San Pablo requires an encroachment permit from Public Works for any work in the city right-of-way, including staging that needs traffic or pedestrian control, and dumpsters placed on city rights-of-way must carry reflectors or warning devices. Trailers can only be parked on a street while hitched to a vehicle that can move them, and commercial vehicles rated at ten thousand pounds or more can't park on residential streets except while making pickups or deliveries. Goods may sit on a sidewalk only as long as needed to unload them and carry them across.
