Plainfield rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Plainfield, motor trucks with a load capacity over one and one-half tons, or longer than 19 feet, taller than 8 feet or wider than 7 feet, may not park or partially park on town streets, alleys or highways.
Plainfield's town code bars large trucks (over one and one-half tons of load capacity, 19 feet long, 8 feet tall or 7 feet wide) and trailers from parking on town streets, with trailers allowed only under the loading rule, and travel trailers or RVs can sit in front of the user's home for up to 24 hours to load or unload. Dumpsters or other obstructions in a street or parking lane need a right-of-way encroachment permit, applied for by the party responsible, which the town has ten business days to decide. Vehicles can't stay on a street longer than 72 hours, and snow emergency routes must be cleared while a parking prohibition is declared.
