Bettendorf rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Bettendorf, a vehicle may block a street, alley or sidewalk only while loading or unloading, and a loading vehicle may not fully block a city street for more than five minutes.
In Bettendorf, City Code Section 6-1-128 lets a vehicle block a street, alley or sidewalk only while loading or unloading, never fully blocking a city street for more than five minutes, and presumes loading when flashers are on and a "loading" sign is on the dashboard. The director of public works issues permits for storing materials on streets and public grounds, with a bond required first. When a snow emergency is declared, parked vehicles must be moved within four hours and odd-even parking applies, and cul-de-sac turnarounds are off limits after two inches of snow.
