Cedar Falls rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Cedar Falls, a commercial truck other than a pickup, or a commercial trailer, may not park on the street or in the right-of-way in a residential block except while someone is actively loading or unloading it.
In Cedar Falls, City Code Sec. 23-388 keeps commercial trucks (other than pickups) and commercial trailers off the street and right-of-way in residential blocks except while actively loading or unloading, and defines commercial as used in exchanging goods or services for compensation. Alleys allow only 15 minutes to load or unload, and anything placed in a street is an unlawful obstruction except for immediate transfer, with any street obstruction guarded by an Iowa DOT-approved barrier. During a declared snow emergency, parking is banned on signed snow removal routes, with a $25 fine plus towing and storage costs.
