Alexandria rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Alexandria, a commercial vehicle over one ton may not be parked or left standing on a public street in a single-family residential zone, unless it is being loaded or unloaded in the normal course of business.
Alexandria's traffic code bars commercial vehicles over one ton from parking on streets in single-family residential zones except while loading or unloading, and limits parking on residential-zone streets to 24 hours outside its listed exceptions. Private use of a public street is prohibited, but the city engineer may permit temporary obstructions such as building material, which must be lit with red lanterns overnight. Double parking and parking in front of a driveway are prohibited.
