Lewiston rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Lewiston, the city issues an official Winter Parking Ban for each plowable storm, and vehicles left on city streets during a ban are towed at the owner's expense.
In Lewiston, obstructing any street or sidewalk takes a written permit from the director of public works, and vehicles over 25 feet long or with a carrying capacity over 6,000 pounds may not stand on a public street for more than one hour at a time. In winter the city declares a Winter Parking Ban for each plowable storm and tows vehicles left on the street; some streets also have odd- or even-side parking bans from December 1 to March 31.
