Topeka rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Topeka, a truck tractor, trailer or semitrailer may not be parked on any street for more than one hour of any day, and time spent actually loading or unloading does not count as parking under this rule.
In Topeka, City Code Section 10.70.010 limits truck tractors, trailers and semitrailers to one hour of parking a day on any street, not counting time spent actually loading or unloading, and the city's parking page says trucks and trailers may not stay on the street longer than 30 minutes between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. No vehicle may stay on a street more than 48 hours. Downtown, movers are among those eligible to reserve metered spaces, with applications due at least 12 hours ahead. On-street parking is banned on posted Snow Emergency Routes during a declared Snow Route Emergency, and residential street sweeping usually runs 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
