Marshalltown rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Marshalltown, no vehicle, trailer or movable equipment may be left on a street, alley or highway for more than 24 consecutive hours, though the rule does not apply to vehicles or trailers being used to move or deliver articles to and from a property.
In Marshalltown, city code bars leaving any vehicle, trailer or movable equipment on a street, alley or highway for more than 24 consecutive hours, except while it is being used to move or deliver articles to and from a property. Where no signs prohibit it, an alley may be blocked only to load or unload, and never for more than 30 minutes, and heavy-licensed semi-tractors, trucks and trailers parked over three hours count as an overtime violation. In winter, Snow Emergency Alerts restrict parking on snow routes and some streets, and vehicles left there are ticketed and towed.
