Middletown rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Middletown, no city street, or any portion of one, may be closed without a permit, though the permit is not required for work on private property.
In Middletown, closing any part of a city street needs a permit, and posts, fences or other obstructions need the Director of Public Works' authority; boxes and goods may sit on a street or sidewalk only as long as transit or delivery reasonably takes. Street meters run 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. except Sundays and holidays, with a three-hour daily maximum, and overnight visitor permits cost $10 a night. The Mayor can call a citywide emergency parking ban, and street-sweeping bans are posted 48 hours ahead.
