Fort Wayne rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Fort Wayne, a property-carrying vehicle longer than 20 feet or wider than 7 feet 6 inches can't park on a street, alley or driveway in a residential district except temporarily while it is actually being loaded or unloaded.
In Fort Wayne, the traffic code bars property-carrying vehicles over 20 feet long or 7 feet 6 inches wide from residential streets, alleys and driveways except while actually loading or unloading, and a trailer may not be parked on a public street unless it is hitched to a vehicle or the City Controller grants a special permit. A separate residential-district section lists trucks over one ton and other large commercial vehicles among the vehicles not permitted there. Blocking a street or sidewalk is unlawful without a permit; the Right-of-Way Department issues barricade permits for obstructions in the traveled way and permits for renting parking meters, and parking is banned on posted snow emergency routes during a declared snow emergency.
